Create A List Item In SharePoint Using CSOM(Announcement List)

In this blog, I will add a code snippet to add a new item in a SharePoint announcement list, using Client Object model. The Client Object model must conclude with a call to ExecuteQuery() or ExecuteQueryAsync(ClientRequestSucceededEventHandler, ClientRequestFailedEventHandler).

Steps

1. Open Visual Studio in your system
2. Select Console Application template and give the name "Enablefolder"
3. Add a Microsoft.Cleint Assembly reference file in right side reference tab in Visual Studio.
4. Replace Program.cs with the source code given below.

using System;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;


namespace GowthamArticles
{
    class CreateListItem
    {
        static void Main()
        {

            ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("https://gowtham.sharepoint.com/tutorials");
            List oList = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Announcements");

            ListItemCreationInformation itemCreateInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation();
            ListItem oListItem = oList.AddItem(itemCreateInfo);
            oListItem["Title"] = "Test Item!";
            oListItem["Body"] = "This sample item created programmatically";

            oListItem.Update();

            clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
        }
    }
}
