In this blog you will see how to add content type to list by name in SharePoint 2016.

Please refer to Introduction to PnP Core Component for more details. I have created a console application and added SharePointPnPCoreOnline NuGet package for the SharePoint 2016 version.

        {
            // Input Parameters

            OfficeDevPnP.Core.AuthenticationManager authMgr = new OfficeDevPnP.Core.AuthenticationManager();

            try
            {
                // Get the client context
                using (var ctx = authMgr.GetNetworkCredentialAuthenticatedContext(siteUrl, userName, password, domain))
                {
                    // Add Content Type to list by name using CSOM Extension Method
                    ctx.Web.AddContentTypeToListByName(listTitle, contentTypeName, true, false);
                }
            }

            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Error Message: " + ex.Message);
            }
        }
    }
