Did you retire/archive all content related to SharePoint Server and CSOM? 🤔

[David Sass (b-dasass)]

Am I being just so lame that I cannot find documentation related to Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListCollection for SharePoint Server 2016 & 2019 OR there is actually no official documentation available to read which is not about .NET Standard?

Any and all help would be appreciated!

Do you mean this documentation?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/sharepoint-net-server-csom-jsom-and-rest-api-index
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/sharepoint-visio/jj246453(v=office.15)

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I'm not looking for SP.ListCollection. I'm looking for the .NET Framework based version of Client Side Object Model which can be found inside Microsoft.SharePoint2016.CSOM

So for CSOM, there is this - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/sharepoint-csom/ee546609(v=office.15)

I'm checking to see if there is are updated docs somewhere.

Thank you!

I was trying to build some older - now archived - PnP sample for SharePoint 2013 but some methods were not in CSOM so it didn't want to build, but the docs said that they should be there...

So now I'm thinking that this v=office.15 might be for v=office.16 because the 2016 CSOM version had that method.

I hope this make sense.

It's unfortunate that the version and the year of the releases is close-but-not-exact. O16 is not office 2016. To complicate matters further, SharePoint went from having it's own version #s (SharePoint v3 was the SP2007 for example). At some point, the SharePoint releases and the Office release #s merged, and started using the Office Release #s, which is how we wound up at version 15 and above.
