sharepoint Working with Managed Client Side Object Model (CSOM) Hello world (getting site title)
Example
All versions of SharePoint are based around Sites (SPSite (SSOM) or Site (CSOM)) and Webs (SPWeb(SSOM) or Web(CSOM)). A site is not rendered in the UI although it does contain metadata and features that are applied to its children. A web is the basic building block that renders a UI to the user accessing the site. All Sites have a root web that holds information and/or metadata like Document Libraries. This example shows a basic call to fetch the web located on the server MyServer under the virtual path sites.
using System;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
namespace Microsoft.SDK.SharePointServices.Samples
{
class RetrieveWebsite
{
static void Main()
{
// This is the URL of the target web we are interested in.
string siteUrl = "http://MyServer/sites/MySiteCollection";
// The client context is allows us to queue up requests for the server
// Note that the context can only ask questions about the site it is created for
using (ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl))
{
// To make it easier to read the code, pull the target web
// context off of the client context and store in a variable
Web oWebsite = clientContext.Web;
// Tell the client context we want to request information about the
// Web from the server
clientContext.Load(oWebsite);
// After we are done creating the batch of information we need from the sever,
// request the data from SharePoint
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
// Print the results of the query
Console.WriteLine("Title: {0} Description: {1}", oWebsite.Title, oWebsite.Description);
}
}
}
}
