Support for <RowLimit>?

[gsalatino]

The current v1.1.0.0 does support RowLimit tag? If not, it's possible to extend Query class in any way to render tag? Please see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/sharepoint-team-services/dd588460(v=office.11)

I did not find a way to "naturally" extend the Query class, which seems to implement Builder pattern and It's ok. So in the .NET solution I'm working on I've created my own CamlQueryBuilder only to extend behavior of Query class. In my CamlQueryBuilder I've a method that does the following as a workaround:

    protected override CamlQuery InternalBuild()
    {
      this.BuiltInstance.ViewXml = this.GetViewXml();
      return base.InternalBuild();
    }

    private string GetViewXml()
    {
      return string
        .Concat(
          "<View>",
          Query
            .Build(this.WhereBuilder.Build())
            .OrderBy(this.OrderByFieldRefs)
            .GetCaml()
            .RemoveNewLine()
            .RemoveWhitespaceBetweenXmlTags(),
          this.GetRowLimitCaml(),
          "</View>");
    }

    private string GetRowLimitCaml()
    {
      return this.RowLimit > 0 ? string.Format("<RowLimit>{0}</RowLimit>", this.RowLimit) : string.Empty;
    }

Finally, a nuget package which works with .NET Core. Looks like this is the only thing missing for me that I currently use.

This package was originally meant to generate CAML against the Query schema while RowLimit seems to be part of the List schema and by adding it I would have to add support for pretty much all elements missing from the List schema.

Does it really work with Query schema? I might consider to add it if it does and it's blocking people from using the library.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not a SharePoint expert, only a beginner. It looks like if you just put View tags around it, it works without any problems for the Lists I used it for. I must say I only tested a single Equal operator 😁. Except for #14 that I encountered, which I think it would also be a problem for the one you designed it for.

Maybe it is possible with some minor changes to make it also work for Lists/View. Maybe a new .View(new ViewOptions { RowLimit = 1000 }).GetCaml(); or something similar.

Ah. I see, yes, if you want to do it right and support everything then it is not a quick add indeed. Or maybe do it in two parts would also be an option. First implement that it can add View tags around it and a couple of properties like RowLimit, and second part to include the rest.
