{
    class Program
    {
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                GraphClient client = new GraphClient();

                client.ClientId = "63333333-209e-454e-b7bd-55a4d201270f";
                client.Tenant = "independentsoft.onmicrosoft.com";
                client.ClientSecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

                ColumnDefinition column = new ColumnDefinition();
                column.Name = "CustomField";
                column.DisplayName = "Custom Field";
                column.Required = false;

                ColumnDefinition newColumn = await client.CreateColumn(column, "site-id-123");

                Console.WriteLine("Id = " + newColumn.Id);
                Console.WriteLine("Name = " + newColumn.Name);

                Console.Read();
            }
            catch (GraphException ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Code);
                Console.WriteLine("Message: " + ex.Message);
