string startTableName = null;
do
{
    // Configure ListTables request with the marker value
    ListTablesRequest request = new ListTablesRequest
    {
        ExclusiveStartTableName = startTableName,
    };

    // Issue call
    ListTablesResult result = client.ListTables(request);

    // List retrieved tables
    List<string> tables = result.TableNames;
    Console.WriteLine("Retrieved tables: {0}",
        string.Join(", ", tables));
