Examples

The example below creates a new partitioned container with 50000 Request-per-Unit throughput. The partition key is the first level 'country' property in all the documents within this container.

Container container = await client.GetDatabase("dbName"].Containers.CreateAsync("MyCollection", "/country", 50000} );
ContainerProperties containerProperties = container.Resource;

The example below creates a new container with a custom indexing policy.

ContainerProperties containerProperties = new ContainerProperties("MyCollection", "/country");
containerProperties.IndexingPolicy.Automatic = true;
containerProperties.IndexingPolicy.IndexingMode = IndexingMode.Consistent;

CosmosContainerResponse containerCreateResponse = await client.GetDatabase("dbName"].CreateContainerAsync(containerProperties, 50000);
ContainerProperties createdContainerProperties = containerCreateResponse.Container;

The example below deletes this container.

Container container = client.GetDatabase("dbName"].Containers["MyCollection"];
await container.DeleteAsync();

Remarks

A database may contain zero or more named containers and each container consists of zero or more JSON documents. Being schema-free, the documents in a container do not need to share the same structure or fields. Since containers are application resources, they can be authorized using either the master key or resource keys. Refer to for more details on containers.
