使用 C# 从 SharePoint (CSOM) 下载特定文件

Question

I'm developing a C# based application that requires to download, checkout, upload, check in on a specific file from/to Sharepoint with CSOM. So I have two questions here:

Firstly, on download, is there others way to download a specific named file under folder "Document" instead of searching through GetItemByID(). Please refer to code below:

string siteUrl = @"http://test.com/sites/company/";

ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
ctx.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password" , "domain");            
ctx.AuthenticationMode = ClientAuthenticationMode.Default;

var list = ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Document");
var listItem = list.GetItemById();

ctx.Load(list);
ctx.Load(listItem, i => i.File);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();

var fileRef = listItem.File.ServerRelativeUrl;
var fileInfo = Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.OpenBinaryDirect(ctx, fileRef);
var fileName = Path.Combine("C:\\", (string)listItem.File.Name);

using (var fileStream = System.IO.File.Create(fileName))
{
    fileInfo.Stream.CopyTo(fileStream);
}

Secondly, in regards to the workflow (download, modify, check out, upload, check in), is this feasible of doing?

Thanks in advance.

For getting specific file, no need to get ListItem by Id, instead, directly pass server relativer url like this:

  ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("http://sp/sites/dev");
    Web web = clientContext.Web;
    Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File filetoDownload = web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl("/sites/dev/shared%20documents/mytest.txt");
    clientContext.Load(filetoDownload);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    var fileRef = filetoDownload.ServerRelativeUrl;
    var fileInfo = Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.OpenBinaryDirect(clientContext, fileRef);
    var fileName = Path.Combine("C:\\", (string)filetoDownload.Name);

    using (var fileStream = System.IO.File.Create(fileName))
    {
        fileInfo.Stream.CopyTo(fileStream);
    }

For other usage, checkout,update,checkin, I would suggest you can still use CSOM, as there are buit-in functions support:
