PnP Core Component - Set Default Content Type to List in SharePoint 2016

In this blog you will see how to set default content type to list.

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.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
using OfficeDevPnP.Core;

namespace SP2016PnPCoreComponentDemo
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Input Parameters
            string siteUrl = "http://c7395723754:35298/sites/VijaiDemo";
            string userName = "administrator";
            string password = "xxxxxxx";
            string domain = "AD2012";
            string listTitle = "PnP Custom List";
            string contentTypeId = "0x0100FC6F80F7923849FBBF73F0974A2DEB9E";

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

            try
            {
                // Get the client context
                using (var ctx = authMgr.GetNetworkCredentialAuthenticatedContext(siteUrl, userName, password, domain))
                {
                    // Set Default Content Type to List using CSOM Extension Method
                    ctx.Web.SetDefaultContentTypeToList(listTitle, contentTypeId);
                }
            }

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