You should use Create Table statement in your C# code.

using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(yourConnectionStringHere)) //put your connection string here
{
con.Open();
try
{
    using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(
    "CREATE TABLE Dogs1 (Weight INT, Name TEXT, Breed TEXT)", con))
    {
    command.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
}
catch
{
    Console.WriteLine("Table couldn't be created.");
}
}

I believe you don't want to use SSMS (Management Studio). Suggest you run below query (as command) through your application:

create table 'table name'
('col1' 'datatype1' 'null/not null',
'col2' 'datatype2' 'null/not null',
'col3' 'datatype3' 'null/not null',
)

Remember this is a very basic query, you might have to modify it to your needs. ALSO you (the account under which your application is running) should have permissions to create table on the DB.

you can use create table query and can do so.

The only thing required is to make the connection with the instance of the sql server, as well as your application must have the appropiate permission to create new object.
