using System;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;

namespace Microsoft.SDK.SharePointFoundation.Samples
{
    class ContentTypeCollectionExample
    {
        static void Main()
        {

            string siteUrl = "http://MyServer/sites/MySiteCollection";

            ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
            Web site = clientContext.Web;
            ContentTypeCollection collContentType = site.ContentTypes;

            // Initialize a new content type.
            ContentTypeCreationInformation contentInfo = new ContentTypeCreationInformation();
            contentInfo.Name = "myContentType";
            contentInfo.Description = "My custom content type";
            ContentType contentType = collContentType.Add(contentInfo);

            clientContext.Load(collContentType);
            clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
