There are many ways in CSOM to set the list properties of a SharePoint site. But there are a few properties which we can’t set directly from the list object. In this blog, I will explain how to find those using the WebRequest.example:-offline client availability, major version limit, major with mino version limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This below-mentioned code sample will help us to set those properties which we cannot access directly from the list object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
