1. Open Visual Studio in your system
2. Select Console Applciation template and give as name "CreateList"
3. Add a Microsoft.Cleint Assembly refrence file in right side refrence tab in visual studio.
4. Replace Program.cs with the source code below.

1. using System.Collections.Generic;  
2. using System.Linq;  
3. using System.Text;  
4. using System.Threading.Tasks;  
5. using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;  
6. namespace CreateList   
7. {  
8.     class Program   
9.     {  
10.         static void Main(string[] args)  
11.         {  
12.             // ClientContext - Get the context for the SharePoint Site    
13.   
14.   
15.             ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("http://gauti.sharepoint.com/sites/SP/");  
16.             // Specifies the properties of the new custom list    
17.   
18.             ListCreationInformation creationInfo = new ListCreationInformation();  
19.             creationInfo.Title = "NewList";  
20.             creationInfo.Description = "new list created using VS 2012 &CSOM";  
21.             creationInfo.TemplateType = (int) ListTemplateType.GenericList;  
22.             // Create a new custom list    
23.   
24.             List newList = clientContext.Web.Lists.Add(creationInfo);  
25.             // Retrieve the custom list properties    
26.             clientContext.Load(newList);  
27.             // Execute the query to the server.    
28.             clientContext.ExecuteQuery();  
29.             // Display the custom list Title property    
30.             Console.WriteLine(newList.Title);  
31.             Console.ReadLine();  
32.         }  
33.     }  
34. }
