I am scratching my head out with this one. I have used the CSOM to retrieve data before, and it works fine with a console application. But on a .NET Core app, I added the references again, and am trying to get my controller to serve up a sharepoint list on a GET request.

Details:

An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.

FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'. The system cannot find the file specified.

AppForm.BackendServices.RetrieveApplications.GetAllApps() AppForm.Controllers.AppRetrievalController.GetApps() in AppRetrievalController.cs + // return RetrieveApplications.GetAllApps(); //} [HttpGet] public IEnumerable GetApps() { return RetrieveApplications.GetAllApps(); }
