  • I have to compare the csv item with the SP list-item and then if the csv item does not available in the list then need to add that item to list and if list contains more items than the CSV items then need to delete SP list-items. If some changes are thre then need to update the List-item.

  • Hello Gwny Thanks !!! I'd done with my task and used this approch to reach the goal. foreach ($row in $csv) { $CSVid = $row.ID [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.List]$list = $web.Lists.GetByTitle($listName) $items = $list.GetItemById($CSVid) $context.load($items) try { $context.ExecuteQuery(); } catch { $ErrorMessage = $_.Exception.Message } Is it fine or have some another way to do the same ??

Create a powershell script which reads the csv as input. Get the List items by id and check if they are equal to the information from your csv. If not, make an update on the item.

Do this for every item. If you need some powershell sharepoint references: http://www.itunity.com/article/completing-basic-operations-sharepoint-csom-api-powershell-1278

I'd done with this code

foreach ($row in $csv) 
{ 
    $CSVid = $row.ID
    [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.List]$list = $web.Lists.GetByTitle($listName)
    $items = $list.GetItemById($CSVid)
    $context.load($items) 
}
try 
{ 
    $context.ExecuteQuery(); 
} 
catch 
{ 
    $ErrorMessage = $_.Exception.Message 
}
