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

1. Open Visual Studio in your system.
2. Select Console Application template and give it a name.
3. Add a Microsoft.Client Assembly reference file in the right side Reference tab in Visual Studio.
4. 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.
