You can add, edit, or remove links on the left-hand menu (Quick Launch menu), the top menu (Top Navigation Node) through “Edit Links” in SharePoint. In this blog, we are going to create a structural navigation node that is the root node having subnodes in both – top navigation and quick launch.

The code block for this is mentioned below.

    using System;  
    using System.Linq;  
    using System.Security;  
    using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;  
    namespace StructuralNavigationNode {  
        class Program {  
            static void Main(string[] args) {  
                ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext("http://portal/sites/site1");  
                string password = "Password";  
                SecureString secureString = new SecureString();  
                foreach(char c in password.ToCharArray()) secureString.AppendChar(c);  
                ctx.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials("user@domain.com", secureString);  
                ctx.ExecuteQuery();  
                Web web = ctx.Web;  
                NavigationNodeCollection quickLaunchNodeColl = web.Navigation.QuickLaunch; // we are getting all quick launch node collection  
                NavigationNodeCollection topNavNodeColl = web.Navigation.TopNavigationBar; // we are getting all top navigation node collection  
                NavigationNodeCreationInformation quickLaunchNodeCreation = new NavigationNodeCreationInformation();  
                quickLaunchNodeCreation.Title = "QuickLaunchNode";  
                quickLaunchNodeCreation.Url = "http://www.softreeconsulting.com/";  
                quickLaunchNodeColl.Add(quickLaunchNodeCreation); //we are creating root quick launch node  
                ctx.Load(quickLaunchNodeColl);  
                ctx.ExecuteQuery();  
                NavigationNode quickLaunchParentNode = quickLaunchNodeColl.Where(n => n.Title == "QuickLaunchNode").FirstOrDefault(); //retrieving parent quick launch root node for which we will add sub nodes  
                NavigationNodeCreationInformation quickLaunchNodeCreationInformation = new NavigationNodeCreationInformation();  
                quickLaunchNodeCreationInformation.Title = "QuickLaunchSubNode";  
                quickLaunchNodeCreationInformation.Url = "http://www.softreeconsulting.com/about-us/";  
                quickLaunchParentNode.Children.Add(quickLaunchNodeCreationInformation); //we are creating sub quicklaunch node  
                quickLaunchParentNode.Update();  
                ctx.ExecuteQuery();  
                NavigationNodeCreationInformation topNavNodeCreation = new NavigationNodeCreationInformation();  
                topNavNodeCreation.Title = "TopNavNode";  
                topNavNodeCreation.Url = "http://www.softreeconsulting.com/";  
                topNavNodeColl.Add(topNavNodeCreation); //we are creating root top navigation node  
                ctx.Load(topNavNodeColl);  
                ctx.ExecuteQuery();  
                NavigationNode topNavParentNode = topNavNodeColl.Where(n => n.Title == "TopNavNode").FirstOrDefault(); //retrieving parent top navigation root node for which we will add sub nodes  
                NavigationNodeCreationInformation topNavNodeCreationInformation = new NavigationNodeCreationInformation();  
                topNavNodeCreationInformation.Title = "TopNavSubNode";  
                topNavNodeCreationInformation.Url = "http://www.softreeconsulting.com/about-us/";  
                topNavParentNode.Children.Add(topNavNodeCreationInformation); //we are creating sub top navigation node  
                topNavParentNode.Update();  
                ctx.ExecuteQuery();  
            }  
        }  
    }

using System;

using System.Linq;

using System.Security;

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;

namespace StructuralNavigationNode {

class Program {

static void Main(string[] args) {

ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext("http://portal/sites/site1");

string password = "Password";

SecureString secureString = new SecureString();

foreach(char c in password.ToCharArray()) secureString.AppendChar(c);

ctx.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials("user@domain.com", secureString);

ctx.ExecuteQuery();

Web web = ctx.Web;

NavigationNodeCollection quickLaunchNodeColl = web.Navigation.QuickLaunch; // we are getting all quick launch node collection

NavigationNodeCollection topNavNodeColl = web.Navigation.TopNavigationBar; // we are getting all top navigation node collection

NavigationNodeCreationInformation quickLaunchNodeCreation = new NavigationNodeCreationInformation();

quickLaunchNodeCreation.Title = "QuickLaunchNode";

quickLaunchNodeCreation.Url = "http://www.softreeconsulting.com/";

quickLaunchNodeColl.Add(quickLaunchNodeCreation); //we are creating root quick launch node

ctx.Load(quickLaunchNodeColl);

ctx.ExecuteQuery();

NavigationNode quickLaunchParentNode = quickLaunchNodeColl.Where(n => n.Title == "QuickLaunchNode").FirstOrDefault(); //retrieving parent quick launch root node for which we will add sub nodes

NavigationNodeCreationInformation quickLaunchNodeCreationInformation = new NavigationNodeCreationInformation();

quickLaunchNodeCreationInformation.Title = "QuickLaunchSubNode";

quickLaunchNodeCreationInformation.Url = "http://www.softreeconsulting.com/about-us/";

quickLaunchParentNode.Children.Add(quickLaunchNodeCreationInformation); //we are creating sub quicklaunch node

quickLaunchParentNode.Update();

ctx.ExecuteQuery();

NavigationNodeCreationInformation topNavNodeCreation = new NavigationNodeCreationInformation();

topNavNodeCreation.Title = "TopNavNode";

topNavNodeCreation.Url = "http://www.softreeconsulting.com/";

topNavNodeColl.Add(topNavNodeCreation); //we are creating root top navigation node

ctx.Load(topNavNodeColl);

ctx.ExecuteQuery();

NavigationNode topNavParentNode = topNavNodeColl.Where(n => n.Title == "TopNavNode").FirstOrDefault(); //retrieving parent top navigation root node for which we will add sub nodes

NavigationNodeCreationInformation topNavNodeCreationInformation = new NavigationNodeCreationInformation();

topNavNodeCreationInformation.Title = "TopNavSubNode";

topNavNodeCreationInformation.Url = "http://www.softreeconsulting.com/about-us/";

topNavParentNode.Children.Add(topNavNodeCreationInformation); //we are creating sub top navigation node

topNavParentNode.Update();

ctx.ExecuteQuery();

}

Output

After the code is executed, you can see the root navigation with its respective subnodes created successfully.
