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

            ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("https://gowtham.sharepoint.com/tutorials");
            ListCreationInformation creationInfo = new ListCreationInformation();
            creationInfo.Title = "New TASKList";
            creationInfo.Description = "THis Task List created PRogrammatically";
            creationInfo.TemplateType = (int)ListTemplateType.Tasks;
            web.Lists.Add(creationInfo);
            context.ExecuteQuery();


        }
    }
}
