Hi,

 

Please try this code for get description of custom objects.

 

private void sObjectDescribe()
{
//Invoke describeSObject and save results in DescribeSObjectResult
DescribeSObjectResult dsr = binding.describeSObject("Account");

//Get value that indicates whether we can create a record
bool canCreate = dsr.createable;

//Get a field and save its name
String fldName = dsr.fields[0].name;
}

 

Please refer following links for more details.
