PnP Core Component - Create a Subsite in SharePoint 2016

In this blog you will see how to create a subsite in SharePoint 2016 with CSOM Extension Method using Console Application.

Please refer to the Introduction to PnP Core Component and OfficeDevPnP.Core for more details. I have created a console application and added SharePointPnPCoreOnline NuGet package for the SharePoint 2016 version.

            OfficeDevPnP.Core.AuthenticationManager authMgr = new OfficeDevPnP.Core.AuthenticationManager();

            try
            {
                // Get the client context
                using (var ctx = authMgr.GetNetworkCredentialAuthenticatedContext(siteUrl, userName, password, domain))
                {
                    // Create web
                    Web web = ctx.Site.RootWeb.CreateWeb(title, leafURL, description, template, language, inheritPerm, inheritNavg);
                    Console.WriteLine(web.Title + " -- created successfully!!!!");
                }
            }

            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Error Message: " + ex.Message);
            }
        }
    }
