Application Page to change the Hidden property of a SharePoint List (SPList) or Field (SPField)

I've developed a custom application page that allows a site administrators to toggle the Hidden Property of any SharePoint List of Field. The page displays all the lists and fields in the site regardless of their hidden status. The code sample and a link to the downloadable page can be found at http://blog.rafelo.com/2008/06/exposing-and-creating-hidden-sharepoint.html. I hope it helps. Any feedback is appreciated

You will get an Exception if...

Before ANY updates to this property, make sure you test for the property CanToggleHidden.
If you try to update this property AND CanToogleHidden returns false you will receive an exception.

Here's a safe way to go about:

SPField field = myList.Fields[myFieldId];
if (field.CanToggleHidden)
{
 field.Hidden = true;
 field.Update();
}
