Another unfortunate reality of working with CSOM is that if anything in that batch of commands fails, then everything in that batch of commands fails – at least on the client. SharePoint is not a transactional system, so I’m not 100% sure how it handles that processing on the server side.
How to manage exceptions in CSOM-Simple Talk?
Of course, this requires two calls to the SharePoint server which incurs additional network lag. But, there is a better way. Using the ExceptionHandlingScope class. This class allows you to manage exceptions in CSOM and process try/catch code in a single call to the SharePoint server.
One of the underlying realities of working with SharePoint’s client side object model (CSOM) is that you are not continuously connected to SharePoint. This means that as you build commands and queries in CSOM that they are stored up and then executed in batch when you call the ClientContext.ExecuteQuery method.
How to check if a document exists in SharePoint?
You could consider the following approaches to determine whether file exists or not. You could construct CAML query to find list item by its Url as demonstrated below:
What does clientcontext.executequery do in CSOM?
This means that as you build commands and queries in CSOM that they are stored up and then executed in batch when you call the ClientContext. ExecuteQuery method. Another unfortunate reality of working with CSOM is that if anything in that batch of commands fails, then everything in that batch of commands fails – at least on the client.
Are there limits to the size of a CSOM request?
Request limits of the CSOM. The CSOM in Project Server 2013 is built on the CSOM implementation in SharePoint Server 2013 and inherits the limits for the maximum size of a request. SharePoint has a 2 MB limit for an operations request, and a 50 MB limit for the size of a submitted binary object.
What does the CSOM does and does not do?
The CSOM does not use ADO.NET datasets and is accessible through the OData protocol. You can develop with the CSOM by using .NET Framework 4 libraries, JavaScript, or Representational State Transfer (REST) queries.
Why is the folder variable null in CSOM?
DO NOT DO THIS. The code in the catch section always runs on the client, so at the end of all the statements your folder variable will be null, so you won’t be able to use any information from the folder variable even if the operation succeeds completely. So you do have to carefully manage your code to watch out for how things interact together.
