Connecting to SharePoint Online in Office 365 through a windows or console application

Hi,

Was looking for a way to connect to SharePoint online using CSOM through a windows application. Found this wonderful article that explains in details about the same.

It also provides us with a helper class name MsOnlineClaimsHelper that does all the heavy lifting for us.

MsOnlineClaimsHelper claimsHelper = new MsOnlineClaimsHelper(“https://xyz.com/sites/dev”, “x@y.onmicrosoft.com”,“pwd”);

Hope it helps.
