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

In this blog, I will add a code snippet for deleting an 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

Open Visual Studio in your system.
Select Console Application template and give it a name.
Add a Microsoft.Client Assembly reference file in the right side Reference tab in Visual Studio.
Replace Program.cs with the source code below.

Code snippet

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");
ListItem oListItem = oList.Items.GetById(7);
oListItem["Title"] = "Custom Title updated Programmatically.";
oListItem.DeleteObject();
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
}
}
}

Thanks for reading.
