SharePoint 2013 Hosting – HostForLIFE :: Add, Get And Delete Quick Launch Navigation Using C#

In this blog, we have discussed adding, retrieving, and deleting the SharePoint online quick launch navigation menu using the C# Server Object model. Follow the below coding to get the result.

Add new term in the quick launch

Add the below code in your Program.cs.

namespace GetNavigationNode {  
    class Program {  
        static void Main(string[] args) {  
            string userName = "user1@tenantname.onmicrosoft.com";  
            string password = "********";  
            string siteUrl = "https:// tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/AssociateSite";  
            SecureString securePassword = new SecureString();  
            foreach(char c in password) {  
                secure Password.AppendChar(c);  
            }  
            var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, securePassword);  
            using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {  
                client Context.Credentials = credentials;  
                Navigation NodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;  
                client Context.Load(clientContext.Web);  
                clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);  
                clientContext.ExecuteQuery();  
                NavigationNodeCreationInformation newNode = new NavigationNodeCreationInformation();  
                newNode.Title = "Search";  
                newNode.Url = "https://www.google.com";  
                qlNavNodeColl.Add(newNode);  
                clientContext.ExecuteQuery();  
            }  
        }  
    }  
}

namespace GetNavigationNode {

class Program {

static void Main(string[] args) {

string userName = "user1@tenantname.onmicrosoft.com";

string password = "********";

string siteUrl = "https:// tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/AssociateSite";

SecureString securePassword = new SecureString();

foreach(char c in password) {

secure Password.AppendChar(c);

}

var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, securePassword);

using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {

client Context.Credentials = credentials;

Navigation NodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;

client Context.Load(clientContext.Web);

clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);

clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

NavigationNodeCreationInformation newNode = new NavigationNodeCreationInformation();

newNode.Title = "Search";

newNode.Url = "https://www.google.com";

qlNavNodeColl.Add(newNode);

clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

}

After running the code,

Get Navigation node

Add the below code to get all the term from quicklunch.

using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {  
    clientContext.Credentials = credentials;  
    NavigationNodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;  
    clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web);  
    clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);  
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();  
    foreach(NavigationNode navToDelete in qlNavNodeColl) {  
        var navNodeTitle = navToDelete.Title;  
        Console.WriteLine("Navigation Node is : " + navNodeTitle);  
    }  
}

using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {

clientContext.Credentials = credentials;

NavigationNodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;

clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web);

clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);

clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

foreach(NavigationNode navToDelete in qlNavNodeColl) {

var navNodeTitle = navToDelete.Title;

Console.WriteLine("Navigation Node is : " + navNodeTitle);

}

Delete Navigation Node

Add below code to remove the quick launch term

string userName = "user1@tenantname.onmicrosoft.com";  
string password = "********";  
string siteUrl = "https:// tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/AssociateSite";  
SecureString securePassword = new SecureString();  
foreach(char c in password) {  
    securePassword.AppendChar(c);  
}  
var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, securePassword);  
using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {  
    clientContext.Credentials = credentials;  
    NavigationNodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;  
    clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web);  
    clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);  
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();  
    foreach(NavigationNode navToDelete in qlNavNodeColl) {  
        var title = navToDelete.Title;  
        if (title == "Search") {  
            navToDelete.DeleteObject();  
            clientContext.ExecuteQuery();  
        }  
    }  
}  
}

string userName = "user1@tenantname.onmicrosoft.com";

string password = "********";

string siteUrl = "https:// tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/AssociateSite";

SecureString securePassword = new SecureString();

foreach(char c in password) {

securePassword.AppendChar(c);

}

var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, securePassword);

using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {

clientContext.Credentials = credentials;

NavigationNodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;

clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web);

clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);

clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

foreach(NavigationNode navToDelete in qlNavNodeColl) {

var title = navToDelete.Title;

if (title == "Search") {

navToDelete.DeleteObject();

clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

}

After running the code,

From the above example of the code, we can conclude that, the CRUD operation of a quick launch navigation node in SharePoint Online using c# is very effective as it reduces the amount of time. You can also use this code for SharePoint 2019 and 2016.
