SharePoint -- Get Folder Properties

See more SharePoint Examples

This example shows how to get the properties of a SharePoint folder. Specifically, it gets the properties of one of our test folders named "Briefing 02032017". .NET Core C#

bool success = false;

// This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The following comments apply to SharePoint Windows classic authentication.
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// For example, imagine our SharePoint endpoint is https://xyzoffice.mycompany.com/
// The SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN would be "mycompany.com"
// The SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN would be "xyzoffice.mycompany.com"
// Also, the SHAREPOINT_USERNAME would be just the name, not a full email address.
// for example, "chilkat" instead of "chilkat@mycompany.com"

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

// If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
// Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
http.Login = "SHAREPOINT_USERNAME";
http.Password = "SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD";
http.LoginDomain = "SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN";
http.NtlmAuth = true;

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
// If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
// establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Indicate that we want a JSON reply
http.Accept = "application/json;odata=verbose";
http.AcceptCharset = "utf-8";

// If your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, then use "https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/sites/teamA/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/teamA/Briefing 02032017')" where "teamA" is the name of the site.
Chilkat.StringBuilder sbJson = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();

json.EmitCompact = false;

// To get the number of items in the folder:
int itemCount = json.IntOf("d.ItemCount");
Debug.WriteLine("Number of items: " + Convert.ToString(itemCount));

// The full JSON response looks like the following:
