There are many ways in CSOM to get the list properties from SharePoint site but few properties are there which we can’t get directly from list object. In this blog, I will explain how to find those using the SchemaXml.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this blog, I will explain how to find a few list properties using SchemaXml l. There are many ways in CSOM to get the properties from SharePoint list but few properties are there which we can’t get directly from list object. For example, “MajorVersionLimit” is not present directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This below-mentioned code sample will help us to get those properties which we cannot access directly from the list object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The code block for this is as mentioned below<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this blog, I have explained how you can get properties of SharePoint list from SchemaXml I hope this information will help you out in a few scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This solution is brought to you by our SharePoint professionals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Softree Technology<\/a>\u00a0employs SharePoint consultants; we are a technology services provider with the aim to help companies achieve exceptional performance through SharePoint.
