Hello SharePointers,

Modern Document library experience in SharePoint is the most talked about feature nowadays. You can switch back to the classic experience anytime but the modern list/document gives you a fresh & new look and much more added functionality. Below is the CSOM to create a document library in Sharepoint online using CSOM.

ListExperience.NewExperience is the property we need to set up. 

var SiteURL = @"https://myssharepoint.com/sites/";
var login = "Laks@***.onmicrosoft.com";
var password = "****";

var securePassword = new SecureString();

foreach (char c in password)
{
    securePassword.AppendChar(c);
}
SharePointOnlineCredentials onlineCredentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(login, securePassword);

ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(targetSiteURL);
ctx.Credentials = onlineCredentials;
Web web = ctx.Web;

ListCreationInformation lci = new ListCreationInformation();
lci.Description = "Test Library";
lci.Title = "Library";
lci.TemplateType = 101;

List newLib = ctx.Web.Lists.Add(lci);
ctx.Load(newLib);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();

var createLibrary = ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Library");
createLibrary.ContentTypesEnabled = true;
createLibrary.ListExperienceOptions = ListExperience.NewExperience;
createLibrary.Update();
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
