This example shows how to update a SharePoint (to change the value of a list property, such as Title). VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
' Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
http.Login = "SHAREPOINT_USERNAME"
http.Password = "SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD"

' The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
' If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
' establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication

' To create a list, we're going to POST to
