How I started PowerShell + CSOM

Typical CT deployment process

What is being recommended

Challenge with O365
 Guidance to not use declarative code for CT
 You cannot use custom code in Sandbox
solution.
 Farm solutions are out of question.

CSOM Overview
 Client side library for remotely communicating with
SharePoint
 Introduced in SharePoint 2010
 Expanded upon in SharePoint 2013
CSOM Overview

How CSOM Works

How CSOM Works –SP 2013
 SharePoint 2013

How CSOM Works
 Create Context
ClientContext ctx = new
ClientContext("http://intranet.contoso.com");
 Call Load and ExecuteQuery Before Accessing
Value Properties
Web web = ctx.Web;
ctx.Load(web);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
Console.WriteLine(web.Title);

Steps to start developing
 Pick your Development environment
 Local Machine
 SharePoint 2013 Environment

Local Machine
 Required copy of all SharePoint Client DLL
 Located at C:Program FilesCommon Filesmicrosoft
sharedWeb Server Extensions15ISAPI
 All DLLs that starts with Microsoft.SharePoint.Client
 Reference them in your code from the location
you copied them

SharePoint Environment
 No need to do anything other than referencing
DLLs from ISAPI folder.

Optional – Download SPO DLLs
 Rene Modery - Script to download the
SharePoint Online DLLs

dlls/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=script-to-download-
the-sharepoint-online-dlls

Add reference to your DLLs
$filePath = "c:Program FilesCommon Filesmicrosoft
sharedWeb Server Extensions15ISAPI"
Set-Location $filePath
Add-Type -Path (Resolve-Path
"Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll")
Add-Type -Path (Resolve-Path
"Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll")

Authentication - SPO
$userName = "SomeUser@SomeOrg.onmicrosoft.com"
$siteUrl = "https://SomeSite.sharepoint.com"
$pwd = Read-Host -AsSecureString
$ctx = New-Object
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($siteUrl)
$ctx.Credentials = New-Object
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredenti
als($userName, $pwd)

Authentication – On-Prem
$userName = "SomeUser@SomeOrg.onmicrosoft.com"
$siteUrl = "https://SomeSite.sharepoint.com"
$pwd = Read-Host -AsSecureString
$ctx = New-Object
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($siteUrl)
$ctx.Credentials = New-Object
System.Net.NetworkCredential($userName, $pwd)

Advantages
 Repeatable and automated
 Same script can be used across different
environments
 Extending out of the box PowerShell
 Works with on-prem as well as SharePoint Online *

Summary
 Anything you can do with CSOM can be achieved
using PowerShell + CSOM
 Great way to extend PowerShell capabilities
 Can be used with SharePoint Online and On-prem
 Spend time understanding CSOM
 Microsoft.SharePoint.Client namespace
