Sisyphus

SharePoint woes again. I’m trying to download some SharePoint lists using CSOM. I find lots of examples
nothing works, first I did the same stupid mistake I always do trying to access SharePoint, even though
you are searching for CSOM examples most hits you get are SSOM examples. After I failed with one SSOM I found a promising example, but it did not work for me.
The powershell script example loaded two dlls. I probably had an invalid version of some SharePoint library
and I could not find one that worked. This time I learned not only do I have choose between SSOM and CSOM,
but it looks like there is onprem and an office365 versons of CSOM or some libraries. I do not know what my
problems really are and I get very little help from searching the web. None of the suggested solutions
for my problem changed anything, the error remained I had my code unsaved in Powershell ISE when my PC
all of a sudden restarted, nothing was saved, now this really does not matter much since the code I worked
with was a dead end. For some reason working with SharePoint reminds me of Sisyphus.
