Our Sharepoint site is on our company servers. I need to create a web app that can retrieve and post data from and to that site.

I use VS 2017, I tried to install Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client using Nuget, but that comes up with a "package restore failed" error. Should I be doing this with Nuget?

Could use some help and pointers as to how to set up the Client Side Object Model so I can start developing a web app that can make those data operations.

I believe the site is built with Sharepoint server 2013. And we use windows auth to manage site permissions.

Thanks!

  • Can you make sure the SharePoint module is installed in VS 2017. Also try downloading the CSOM dlls from server and add reference them in your project.

Previously you would have needed to install the SharePoint Client Side SDK to access the required assemblies. Fortunately Microsoft has released Nuget packages for CSOM!

For on-prem SP2013 the package is:

Did you install the visual studio 2017 in SharePoint server?

If so, you could add the reference from hive 15.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI

For more detailed information, refer to the article below.

SharePoint Client Object Modal (CSOM).

    I am using Visual Studio in my own machine for dev. purposes. Does that change anything?
