Add document set to library SharePoint Online

Thomas Pettinicchi

Hello,

I'm trying to create a document set in a document library SharePoint online.

I have a special document set for this : Events

I need to create this event in à webservice Azure, and i try with this code :

ClientContext clientContext = GetonlineContext();
Web spWeb = clientContext.Web;
var formLib = spWeb.Lists.GetByTitle("Event");
ContentTypeCollection listContentTypes = formLib.ContentTypes;
ContentTypeId dsCtId = new ContentTypeId();
clientContext.Load(listContentTypes, types => types.Include(type => type.Id, type => type.Name, type => type.Parent));
var result = clientContext.LoadQuery(listContentTypes.Where(c => c.Name == "Events"));
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
ContentType docsetCT = result.First();
ContentTypeId ctid = docsetCT.Id;
DocumentSet.Create(clientContext, formLib.RootFolder, value.name, ctid);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

private class Configuration
{
public static string ServiceSiteUrl = "https://****.sharepoint.com";
public static string ServiceUserName = "*****";
public static string ServicePassword = "******";
}
static ClientContext GetonlineContext()
{
var securePassword = new SecureString();
foreach (char c in Configuration.ServicePassword)
{
securePassword.AppendChar(c);
}
var onlineCredentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(Configuration.ServiceUserName, securePassword);
var context = new ClientContext(Configuration.ServiceSiteUrl);
context.Credentials = onlineCredentials;
return context;
}

But when i execute, there is no document add to the library.

Can you please help me ? I'm lost ...

Thanks a lot !

Please try this

NetworkCredential creds = new NetworkCredential(userName, password, siteURL);
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteURL);
clientContext.Credentials = creds;
List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("TestLibrary1");
ContentTypeCollection listContentTypes = list.ContentTypes;
clientContext.Load(listContentTypes, types => types.Include(type => type.Id, type => type.Name, type => type.Parent));
var result = clientContext.LoadQuery(listContentTypes.Where(c => c.Name == "Document Set"));
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
ContentType targetDocumentSetContentType = result.FirstOrDefault();
ListItemCreationInformation newItemInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation();
newItemInfo.UnderlyingObjectType = FileSystemObjectType.Folder;
newItemInfo.LeafName = "Document Set1";
//newItemInfo.FolderUrl = list.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl.ToString();
ListItem newListItem = list.AddItem(newItemInfo);
newListItem["ContentTypeId"] = targetDocumentSetContentType.Id.ToString();
newListItem.Update();
list.Update();
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
