What is Sharepoint client side object model ?

The client-side object model (CSOM) provides client-side applications with access to a subset of the SharePoint Foundation server object model, including core objects such as site collections, sites, lists, and list items. As described in Data Access for
Client Applications, the CSOM actually consists of three distinct APIs—the ECMAScript object model, the Silverlight client object model, and the .NET managed client object model—that target distinct client platforms. The ECMAScript object model and the Silverlight
client object model provide a smaller subset of functionality. This is designed to enhance the user experience, because it minimize the time it takes Silverlight applications or JavaScript functions running in a Web page to load the files required for operation.
The .NET managed client object model provides a larger subset of functionality for standalone client applications. However, these APIs provide a broadly similar developer experience and work in a similar way.
You can write both managed client object model code and JavaScript Client Object model code in Visual Studio. As an example, you can create a console application having managed client object model code. Similarly, you may create a Visual Web Part and have
JavaScript client object model code in it. The JavaScript client object model code can also be directly written inside the SharePoint Designer as well.

Full mask permission in SharePoint using Client Side Object Model

Full mask permission in SharePoint using Client Side Object Model does not include all the base permission while it does have all base permission in server side . Is this a bug ?
Or do we have any workaround for this.
BasePermissions.Set(PermissionKind.FullMask); is not updating all the permissions.
It seems that there is some limitation with Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll as mentioend at below link . Do we have any workaround here.

Hello,
I have already tried your solution, however in that case I get the error - "UncaughtSys.ArgumentNullException: Sys.ArgumentNullException:

Also, I tried removing SP.SOD.executeFunc
from my code, but no success :(
Kindly suggest !!!

Import TermSet CSV using client side object model

Hello,
I want to import CSV in TermStore using client side object model. Unfortunately there is no ImportManager here.
Is there any other way (Other than reading from CSV and adding term one by one to term store)?
Regards, Nanddeep Nachan

Hi,
Here is a tool(server-side) from codeplex for your reference:
SharePoint 2010 CSV Bulk Taxonomy TermSet Importer/Exporter
If you want to import termsets from CSV in Client-Side, we can refer the tool above.
You can develop a windows form application and use .Net Client Object Model to achieve it. The following articles is about how to operate the termset using Client Object Model for you reference:

You will need custom code for this, but since the amount is minimal and this is Stack Overflow I assume that won't be a problem. You will want to make your own listview web part that queries the list using ListViewByQuery. An example can be found here:

Implementation Options: Server Side Object Model & Client Side Object Model

Hi All, I'm design a custom web application and it will be deploy on SharePoint 2010/2013 (to be confirmed) server, and I found some aritical as follows:

May I ask ask your advice for following items?
1) Is the above URL still valid? e.g. Vice Versa for SharePoint 2013?
2) Microsoft has a phase out plan for server side object model or not? (e.g. MOSS 202X)
3) For programmatcally update of SharePoint permission: should I call client-side OM instead of server-side OM even I will deploy the web application to SharePoint server?
Thank you very much.

SharePoint 2013 Client Side Object Model Javascript

Hi,
I am using Javascript Client Object Model in SharePoint 2013. What i am trying to do is:
retrieve items from a particular list which exist on an another site collection. However, the Items that I want to retrieve will be based on particular value in the current site's list where I am writing the script.
So for eg: I have a sharePoint list called "project status" in site A with project name (hyperlink URL field) and project status as Managed metadata fields as two fields.
I have site B where I have "projects" list with Project name as the URL field. what I want to do is compare the project URL name in Projects list in site B to the Project name URL in Project status list in Site A and retrieve the status
so I can do a dashboard in site B using the same status in Site A

Hi Cooltechie1234,
You can filter the list item using CAML Query firstly and then set the managed metadata field label using JavaScript Client Object Model.
If you have trouble in CAML Query, I suggest you can use CAML Designer to figure it out.

How to get plain text out of a multi line text field in Client Side Object Model?

I am trying to read plain text from a MultiLineTextField in a List. This is how my code looks so far:
//Get connection
ClientContext context = new ClientContext("URL");
Web site = context.Web;
context.Load(site);
context.ExecuteQuery();
//Get list collection
ListCollection lists = context.Web.Lists;
context.Load(lists);
context.ExecuteQuery();
//Get specific list
List menu = lists.GetByTitle("menu");
CamlQuery camlQuery = new CamlQuery();
camlQuery.ViewXML = "<View/>";
ListItemCollection dishes = menu.GetItems(camlQuery);
context.Load(menu);
context.Load(dishes);
context.ExecuteQuery();
//Iterate through all dishes
foreach(ListItem dish in dishes)
Console.WriteLine("Dish: {0}:", dish.FieldValues["Name"]);
Console.WriteLine("Price: {0}:", dish.FieldValues["Price"]);
//Here I get my problem
Console.WriteLine("Ingredients: {0}:", dish.FieldValues["Ingredients"]);
In the last line where I try to read the ingredients, I am reading from a MultiLineTextField which is set to RichText. It is also supposed to stay in RichText format, as hyperlinks are supposed to be added there. The problem is that the output not only contains
div-tags but also some weird question marks I never added to the field. I am trying to solve this issue for a couple of days now but it seems that there are only two possible solutions.
Set the field from RichText to PlainText, which is not an option in my case.
Use Regex to remove the div-tags. Please do not suggest this option. Mainly because I do not consider this to be a clean solution for this issue. Plus, I tried it and it removes the tags but those weird question marks stay.
There seems to be a third option I found
here. It is also mentioned in this
question and it seems to work. But I can not get it to work for me. This is how it looks:
string myString = item.FieldMultiLineText[Field_Name];
So I wonder what is item supposed to be here? I suppose it is not a
ListItem because in my case it does not offer a FieldMultiLineText-property.
A short, informative code snippet would be great if you decide to help me with this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately ListItem does not contain a definition for the Fields method.
Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen in C#:

You need to use the Microsoft.SharePoint class library and then use the sharepoint version of all the list objects you are using. See below.
//Get connection
ClientContext context = new ClientContext("URL");
Web site = context.Web;
context.Load(site);
context.ExecuteQuery();
//Get list collection
SPListCollection lists = context.Web.Lists;
context.Load(lists);
context.ExecuteQuery();
//Get specific list
SPList menu = lists.GetByTitle("menu");
CamlQuery camlQuery = new CamlQuery();
camlQuery.ViewXML = "<View/>";
SPListItemCollection dishes = menu.GetItems(camlQuery);
context.Load(menu);
context.Load(dishes);
context.ExecuteQuery();
//Iterate through all dishes
foreach(SPListItem dish in dishes)
Console.WriteLine("Dish: {0}:", dish.FieldValues["Name"]);
Console.WriteLine("Price: {0}:", dish.FieldValues["Price"]);
//Here I get my problem
SPFieldMultiLineText multilineField = dish.Fields.GetField("Ingredients") as SPFieldMultiLineText;
string ingredients = "";
if (multilineField != null)
ingredients = multilineField.GetFieldValueAsText(dish["Ingredients"]);
Console.WriteLine("Ingredients: {0}:", ingredients);}
I hope this helps

URL data type in CAML Query with Client side object model

hi,
How do I write a CAML query to filter list items based on the URL field using it's Description?
Same with REST API. How do I construct a REST query so that filter list items based on the URL data type using it's Description.

Hi Cooltechie,
Thanks for posting your query, Below are the example that you can use in your CAML query
<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name="FileRef"/><Value Type="Url">sites/SiteCollection/SubSite/Site Documents/Excel Report.xls</Value></Eq></Where>
Note: Do not include the server name or beginning /.
The following examples assuming you have a list or library setup with a URL column named "My Document".
The link is to a document that is hosted on the sharepoint server (do not need server name):
<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name="My_x0020_Document"/><Value Type="URL">/sites/subsite/Site%20Documents/Excel%20Report.xls</Value></Eq></Where>
The link is an absolute URL to something not on the server... for example http://www.google.com:
<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name="My_x0020_Document"/><Value Type="URL">http://www.google.com</Value></Eq></Where>
I hope this is helpful to you, mark it as Helpful.
If this works, Please mark it as Answered.

ICustomRouter interface CSOM or Server Side Object model

Hi!
We are looking into a custom document route, and I know about the ICustomRouter interface.
Can it be used in CSOM?
The ICustomeRouter example here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.recordsmanagement.recordsrepository.icustomrouter.aspx
references:
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
...which leans towards the Server Side Object model.
I don't see anything for "routing" or "records" here for the 2013 API:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn268594(v=office.15).aspx
Thank you!

The only thing available from CSOM is the following namespace:
Microsoft.Office.RecordsManagement.InformationPolicy.ProjectPolicy
Some of the methods available are below:
IsProjectClosed
PostPoneProject
GetProjectPolicies

Creating SharePoint Custom List using a list using a Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext object: Lists.Add method from existing Template does not Include Template Content (include content was checked for template)

The code below works assuming you have a list template setup called "GenTasksTemplate".
The problem is that even though the check box to include content was checked during the creation of the template, the task items in the new list do not get populated. What am I missing?
using System;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
protected void createSPlist(object sender, EventArgs e)
ClientContext context = new ClientContext("https://sharepointServer/sites/devcollection/");
var web = context.Web;
ListTemplateCollection ltc = context.Site.GetCustomListTemplates(context.Web);
ListCollection siteListsColection = web.Lists;
context.Load(ltc);
context.ExecuteQuery();
ListCreationInformation listCreationInfo = new ListCreationInformation
Title = "New Task from Template",
Description = "Tasks created from custom template"
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListTemplate listTemplate = ltc.First(listTemp => listTemp.Name == "GenTasksTemplate");
listCreationInfo.TemplateFeatureId = listTemplate.FeatureId;
listCreationInfo.TemplateType = listTemplate.ListTemplateTypeKind;
listCreationInfo.DocumentTemplateType = listTemplate.ListTemplateTypeKind;
//listCreationInfo.CustomSchemaXml =
siteListsColection.Add(listCreationInfo);
context.Load(siteListsColection);
context.ExecuteQuery();
http://www.net4geeks.com Who said I was a geek?

Yes. I can create a list with the template using the UI. I can also create list programmatically using the Microsoft.SharePoint library within a Windows Forms Application. If I do create a provider-hosted app referencing Microsoft.SharePoint,
it results in a 64bit / 32bit mismatch error. I am running SharePoint 2013 on a 64 bit Windows 2012 Server.
The problem is that with a provider-hosted SharePoint App, I am limited to only using the Microsoft.SharePoint.Client library which is very limited.

Creating/copying documents using client side object (javascript)

Hi
I want to the user to press a button and this creates or copies documents (Excel) into a document library on the same site. There are many examples showing how to do this for a list but how can it be achieved for documents?
I've looked at SPFile.CopyTo method but dont know how to use it.
So the source file would have a number of destination files and the name and column data would be altered at time of creation. Looking for a client side javascript solution.
Hope someone can assist.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to copy or create excel files into a document library using JavaScript Client Object Model.
For copying excel files, you can use get_files function to get files within a specific folder , and then you can use file collection
push function to copy files and get_name function to get the file name.
Here is a detailed code demo for your reference:
How do I move files from one document library to another using JSOM?
For creating files, you can use Jquery upload plugin to achieve it,here is a detailed code demo for your reference:
How to Upload File to Document Library using JavaScript Client Object Model?
