Transferable SSOM Skills for CSOM – CAML

#spthingaday 044 – Development. Transferable SSOM Skills for CSOM – CAML. #SharePoint, #Office365, #Development.. In addition to the names of the main objects in SharePoint’s class hierarchy, there are lots of other pieces of Server-Side knowledge you can bring to Client Side SharePoint Development. One such example is CAML – or Collaborative Application Markup Language. In SharePoint Online and CSOM development, you still use CAML for querying lists and defining Lists and Columns. Although Solutions and the Feature Framework are de-emphasised nowadays, CSOM allows you to create List Columns and Site Columns by invoking AddFieldAsXml, and passing in a string of CAML. You can also add Lists with a custom Schema, by setting the CustomSchemaXml property on your ListCreationInformation object. Once again, this is just a string of CAML. #microsoft #microsoftoffice #microsoftsharepoint #microsofttraining #officetraining #freetraining #trainingvideos #contentmanagement #enterprisecontentmanagement
