Hi All,

I have created one plugin to get file from Sharepoint. The plugin code is working fine in the Console app but when I register on an event. When the plugin hit I can see below mentioned Error in Plugin Logs:

Message: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client, Version=16.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified Detail:

I have tried the solution from google but could not fix it.  

Your help would be really appreciated.

Thank you.

    You can't reference external DLLs in your plugin.

    For now, I recommend you to use the rest api instead of the SharePoint SDK. You can refer to the following example:

    According to wave 1 2021, we will be allowed to use external DLLs on our plugins. This will be realized in a few days.
