How to set up a .NET development environment for SharePoint Online

We need to migrate some things from several on-prem systems into SharePoint Online.

I'd like to use C#.NET because ideally, we would then be able to re-use code written for on-prem SharePoint.

On-prem SharePoint code I've used in the past uses references like this:

<Reference Include="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c, processorArchitecture=MSIL" />
<Reference Include="Microsoft.SharePoint.Client, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c, processorArchitecture=MSIL" />
<Reference Include="Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c, processorArchitecture=MSIL" />

And connects to SharePoint like this:

// Connect to SharePoint
SPSite site = new SPSite("http://SiteURL/");
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
// Connect to lists
foreach (SPList l in web.Lists)
...

We no longer have on-prem SharePoint.

What would we need to have on our dev machine so that we can use our code to access SharePoint online?

SharePoint Online does not expose Server side SDK (SSOM), so you canot use above code or reference Microsoft.SharePoint. The available options for SPO connection are:

  • CSOM
  • JSOM
  • Rest API
