[Metadata API] Adding Custom field to object

Hi all,
I' trying to add custom field to object via Metadata API. But I'm getting FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION (Could not resolve standard field's name).
I have no clue why this can happen.
Here's some of my .Net code
//Initialization
var cf = new CustomField()
          {
            fullName = "object__c.testfield__c",
            type = FieldType.Text,
            label = "Field",
            length = 42,
            lengthSpecified = true,
            description = "Test",
          });

Creation 
var res = await client.createMetadataAsync(new SessionHeader() { sessionId = loginResp.result.sessionId }, null, new Metadata[]{cf});


Thanks in advance.
