Sharepoint Online Change WebPart View Query using C# / CSOM

I have try to change default view query using C# but it's not working. I can change JSLink property, but not XmlDefinition. Any idea to workaround or what I'm doing wrong?

var webPart = listWebPart.WebPart.
clientContext.Load(webPart.Properties);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();    
webPart.Properties["XmlDefinition"] = newQuery;
listWebPart.SaveWebPartChanges();
clientContext.Load(listWebPart);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

It's list webpart on some page.

You can get the LimitedWebPartManager for the page with the GetLimitedWebPartManager function on SharePoint Online as well, MSDN. You can then load the WebParts using the LimitedWebPartManager as below:

var page = ctx.Web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(pageUrl);
LimitedWebPartManager wpMgr = page.GetLimitedWebPartManager(Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared);
ctx.Load(wpMgr.WebParts);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();

This will load all the webparts on the page. You can then get the WebPartDefinition of the webpart you require using it's index:

WebPartDefinition webPartDef = wpMgr.WebParts[webpartIndex];
ctx.Load(webPartDef);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();

You can now finally update the desired property and save the definition:

webPartDef.WebPart.Properties["XmlDefinition"] = newQuery;
webPartDef.SaveWebPartChanges();
webPartDef.CloseWebPart();
ctx.ExecuteQuery();

Hopefully this will help you update your webpart properties
