How do I resolve this exception thrown while trying to do CRUD operations on CSOM?
Let me break this down for you. CRUD, of course, means "Create Read Update and Delete". CSOM is the tech for connection C# to a Sharepoint List (or, I assume, also a Microsoft List) in order to programmatically make additions or mortifications to said list from C# code.
I think that, due to the fact that the Microsoft List resides on a highly secure remote source dripping with security systems, I get an exception thrown when I set up a query and perform an "ExecuteQuery" from the ClientContext class. I can provide some source code if necessary but I do not think it is necessary. The question I have is simply this. What would cause a 403 Forbidden error and how can I find a way to resolve it?
Well if CSOM is retired, please tell me what I should use instead. I gave myself access rights in sharepoint for the Microsoft List This did not work. I tried all I could think of and it still did not work. I carefully followed the steps on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/complete-basic-operations-using-sharepoint-client-library-code I also tried adding a username and password to the ClientContext class through the Credentials method as described online and it did not work. I even went to the website where the List is stored and uploaded my compiled app, but running it there only forced a download of the app locally and then Microsoft refused to run it because it thought the exe was suspicious eventhough I was running it locally. Anyway, it does not work. So if CSOM is retired, what should I use instead?

first CSOM is retired and should not be used for new projects. the error generally means the caller does not have the required permissions to the list. validate the credential you are using to connect.

Hi @William Thompson,
would you please provide us with an update on the status of your issue?
