How to activate Custom Feature in SharePoint 2010 using Client Object model

I am trying to Activate a custom feature using Client Object Model in SharePoint 2010. Here is the code I used. When I execute the code, I got the error "Feature with Id 'xx' is not installed in this farm, and cannot be added to this scope while
creating site collection". Can anyone help?
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(spURL);
//GUID of the custom feature
Guid districtFeatureId = new Guid("5b3529de-5045-46da-af87-8d2e32c121a7");
Site clientSite = clientContext.Site;
FeatureCollection clientSiteFeatures = clientSite.Features;
clientContext.Load(clientSiteFeatures);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//Activate the feature
clientSiteFeatures.Add(districtFeatureId, false, FeatureDefinitionScope.Site);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

Hi shil chan,
When you activate a feature on the site collection, the feature should be scoped to site or farm, the error message shows it cannot find the specific feature, this will happen when you have a feature in web
scope or the feature isn’t installed.
So, to troubleshooting this issue:
Verify whether the feature is scoped to web. Please go to
Site Setting->Site Features . If the feature is a web scope feature, then add the feature to webfeatures.
Make sure the feature is installed correctly.
Please inform me freely if you have any questions.
Thanks

Cannot create list in SharePoint 2010 using Client Object Model

I am trying to utilize SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model to create a List based on a custom template. Here's my code:
public void MakeList(string title, string listTemplateGUID, int localeIdentifier)
string message;
string listUrl;
List newList;
Guid template;
ListCreationInformation listInfo;
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListCollection lists;
try
listUrl = title.Replace(spaceChar, string.Empty);
template = GetListTemplate((uint)localeIdentifier, listTemplateGUID);
listInfo = new ListCreationInformation();
listInfo.Url = listUrl;
listInfo.Title = title;
listInfo.Description = string.Empty;
listInfo.TemplateFeatureId = template;
listInfo.QuickLaunchOption = QuickLaunchOptions.On;
clientContext.Load(site);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
lists = site.Lists;
clientContext.Load(lists);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
newList = lists.Add(listInfo);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
catch (ServerException ex)
Now, this particular part, newList = lists.Add(listInfo); clientContext.ExecuteQuery();, the one that is supposed to create the actual list, throws an exception:
Message: Cannot complete this action. Please try again.
ServerErrorCode: 2130239231
ServerErrorTypeName: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException
Could anyone please help me realize what am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I've made progress - well, at least to some extent. The previous message related to the "Invalid file name" is not appearing any more. I now realize that it is necessary to specify feature ID, list template kind, as well as custom schema in order
to order SharePoint 2010 to create the document library.
However, there's a new problem which isn't documented on the net almost at all (at least I was unable to find anything): The document library gets created, but I cannot access it. Further inspection showed that the doc lib views are not created. Basically,
the only accessible doc lib page is the document library settings page. Also, I get the server exception with the message:
Server Out Of Memory. There is no memory on the server to run your program. Please contact your administrator with this problem.
Any idea what is causing this issue? Thanks.
Hi Boris
Borenović,
I think I found the reason for this notorious "Server Out Of Memory" error.
(Man, it took 4 hrs of frustrating troubleshooting without any direct hints... very disappointing
MSFT developers :( ).
Anyway,
All the "Form" elements at the bottom need to have SetupPath="pages\form.aspx"
attribute (by default this attrib is missing when you copy the whole List element from inside the stp's manifest.xml file).
Also, just make sure that each "View" element has correct "WebPartZoneID", "SetupPath" and "Url" attribute values otherwise that list/library will
be created successfully but will fail to load when you try to access it (with the VERY helpful "Cannot complete this action, contact administrator" error). Even if you enable stack trace (or check ULS logs) you will find "An unexpected
error has been encountered in this Web Part. Error: A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type could not be found or it is not registered as safe." and you will never realize it's because of the
incorrect attributes ("WebPartZoneID", "SetupPath" or "Url" as mentioned above).
Come on Microsoft, you can do better than that?
If the API needs this attrib then why is it missing inside the manifest.xml file when
an STP file generated in the first place?

How to change 'Modified By' column value when a new file is uploaded in SharePoint 2013 using Client Object Model?

I want to change 'Modified By' column value of a file that is being uploaded using Client Object Model in SharePoint 2013. The problem is that the version of the file is changing. Kindly help me. The code that I am using is:
using (System.IO.Stream fileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(m_strFilePath))
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.SaveBinaryDirect(m_clientContext, str_URLOfFile, fileStream, true);
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File fileUploaded = m_List.RootFolder.Files.GetByUrl(str_URLOfFile);
m_clientContext.Load(fileUploaded);
m_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
User user1 = m_Web.EnsureUser("User1");
User user2 = m_Web.EnsureUser("User2");
ListItem item = fileUploaded.ListItemAllFields;
fileUploaded.CheckOut();
item["UserDefinedColumn"] = "UserDefinedValue1";
item["Title"] = "UserDefinedValue2";
item["Editor"] = user1;
item["Author"] = user2;
item.Update();
fileUploaded.CheckIn(string.Empty, CheckinType.OverwriteCheckIn);
m_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

Hi talib2608,
Chris is correct for this issue, when calling update using ListItem.update method, it will increase item versions, using SystemUpdate and UpdateOverwriteVersion will update the list item overwrite version.
these two methods are not available in CSOM/REST, only server object model is available for this.
Thanks,

Unable to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL

Please can you help with this issue.
We are not able to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL.
What we need is to use default credentials to authenticate user to get only those list which he has access to.
clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
But in this case we are getting error saying ‘The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.’
Instead of passing Default Credentials, if we pass the User credentials using:
clientContext.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("Administrator", "password", "contoso")
It authenticates the user and works fine. Since we are developing a web part, it would not be possible to pass the user credentials. Also, the sample source code works perfectly fine on the SharePoint 2010 environment. We need to get the same functionality
working for SharePoint 2013.
We are also facing the same issue while authenticating PSI(Project Server Interface) Web services for Project Server 2013.
Can you please let us know how we can overcome the above issue? Please let us know if you need any further information from our end on the same.
Sample code is here: http://www.projectsolution.com/Data/Support/MS/SharePointTestApplication.zip
Regards, PJ Mistry (Email: [email protected] | Web: http://www.projectsolution.co.uk | Blog: EPMGuy.com)

Hi Mistry,
I sure that CSOM will authenticate without passing the
"clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials" by default. It will take the current login user credentials by default. For more details about the CSOM operations refer the below link.

How to update actual assignments in project server 2013 client object model

hi sir ,
I try to update actual assignment using client object model 2013.. but i am not able to do it and hoe to use statusing assignment in csom model of 2013.
vijay

Hi,
Basically ProjectOnline CSOM authentication is the same as SharePoint (or Office365) so you will want to review the TechNet info on that:
Three authorization systems for apps for SharePoint 2013
Depending on your App type and specific requirements.
If however you want to do something like Delegation of a specific Project Online user (as you could in the past), then you're out of luck as that is not supported in the client object model.

403 Forbidden Error while trying to access External SharePoint site Via Client Object Model

Hi,
I am accessing the External SharePoint site from an intranet. When I try to access local sharepoint site in my intranet via Client object model to upload few documents into a library, it works perfectly fine without any issues.
But when I try to do the same (upload few docs ) to an external SharePoint 2010 site out of my intranet from my intranet, I get 403, forbidden error. It looks like there is some issue with login credentials of this site. But when I try to navigate to the
site URL in Visual studio 2010, it asks for credentials and takes me to home page.
I supplied the credentials in different forms like
ctx.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");
and
clientContext.AuthenticationMode = ClientAuthenticationMode.FormsAuthentication;
and
FormsAuthenticationLoginInfo formsAuthInfo = new FormsAuthenticationLoginInfo("MyUser", "MyPassword");
clientContext.FormsAuthenticationLoginInfo = formsAuthInfo;
but nothing seems working and I get the Same 403 error. What am I missing here?
Thanks,
K.V.N.PAVAN

Hi Pal,
Thanks for posting your query, Just try to add credentials to your clientContext object as mentioned below
NetworkCredential credentials =
new NetworkCredential("username", "pwd", "domain");
clientContext .Credentials = credentials;
or use
clientContext.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
I hope this will be helpful to you, If this works, Please mark it as Answered.

Using the SystemUpdate method should do the trick, according

Is it possible to change the title of a webpart using client object model/c#/sharepoint online

Hi folks!
I have been busted my butt trying to Write a program changing the title of an existing webpart on on of our subsites on SharePoint online. But I keep getting an error in the very last context.executequery. Tried a bunch of different approaches, but I can't
make it work. Before I start posting code; I Wonder if anyone have ever done this?
Its a plain Windows form application, using Visual studio Express and the Client Object model. (Listsing the titles of the webparts Works but changing titles seem impossible. Thought it might be a checkin/out problem but it doesn't make a difference).
Any help would be highle appreciated.
Lars

It depends: are you using the default style for Text Captions? In that case you can change the default style in the Object Style Manager and have it applied to all Captions.
Or you can change one text caption, and in its Properties panel choose the option 'Save Changes to existing style' from the menu top right (see screenshot). Both methods will work if you didn't override the default Caption Style for those captions. Beware: Quizzing objects can use another style.

How to Create Custom List in SharePoint 2010 Programmatically ?

Hi,
i have tried the following way,
http://devendra-sharepoint.blogspot.in/2012/01/creating-list-programatically-in_30.html
But i am not able to create list.
Becuase i am getting the following error.
'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb' does not contain a definition for 'EnsureList' and no extension method 'EnsureList' accepting a first argument of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Please advice.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can use list.Fields.Add() to add column in list. See below blog:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/3764/create-sharepoint-list-programmatically.aspx
Use this to delete list:
