PnP Core Component - Check If Content Type Exists in the Web in SharePoint 2016

In this blog you will see how to check whether content type exists or not in the web.

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

            try
            {
                // Get the client context
                using (var ctx = authMgr.GetNetworkCredentialAuthenticatedContext(siteUrl, userName, password, domain))
                {
                    // Check if content type exists by Name/Id using CSOM Extension Method
                    if (ctx.Web.ContentTypeExistsByName(contentTypeName, false) || ctx.Web.ContentTypeExistsById(contentTypeId, false))
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Content Type Exists");
                        Console.ReadLine();
                    }
                }
            }

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