I'm attempting to use CSOM against my on-premises SharePoint 2016 server to return the contents of a list using the following code:

var context = new ClientContext("https://sharepoint");
context.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;

var list = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("MyList");
context.Load(list);
context.ExecuteQuery();

On context.ExecuteQuery(), I get a 400 Bad Request every time. When viewing the log for this request, I get the following:

Name=Request (POST:https://sharepoint/testing/_vti_bin/sites.asmx:GetUpdatedFormDigestInformation)

There are also no errors in the Windows Event log. Can anyone suggest why I may be getting this error or how I find out what's going on?

Apparently Sharepoint 2016 CSOM doesn't work with .Net Core which is where I was attempting to use it.

  • What was your workaround, directly calling the REST API?

  • While I'm sure that would be one workaround, I just backed off and created a .net project instead of .net core.
