PnP Core Component - Get Content Type from the Web in SharePoint 2016

In this blog you will see how to get content type from the web in SharePoint 2016.

Please refer to the Introduction to PnP Core Component and OfficeDevPnP.Core for more details. I have created a console application and added SharePointPnPCoreOnline NuGet package for the SharePoint 2016 version.

                using (var ctx = authMgr.GetNetworkCredentialAuthenticatedContext(siteUrl, userName, password, domain))
                {
                    // Get Content Type By Name using CSOM Extension Method
                    ContentType ctByName = ctx.Web.GetContentTypeByName(contentTypeName, true);
                    Console.WriteLine(ctByName.Name);

                    // Get Content Type By ID using CSOM Extension Method
                    ContentType ctById = ctx.Web.GetContentTypeById(contentTypeId, true);
                    Console.WriteLine(ctById.Name);
                }
            }

            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Error Message: " + ex.Message);
            }
        }
    }
