Copy

using System;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;

namespace Test
{
    class ConsoleApp
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://localhost"))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                {
                    string ctName = "Announcement";
                    SPContentType contentType = web.ContentTypes[ctName];
                    if (contentType != null)
                    {
                        for (int i = 0; i < contentType.Fields.Count; i++)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Field.InternalName = {0}", contentType.Fields[i].InternalName);
                            Console.WriteLine("FieldLink.Name = {0}", contentType.FieldLinks[i].Name);
                            Console.WriteLine();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            Console.Write("Press ENTER to continue...");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

The application prints the following output to the console.

Copy

Field.InternalName = ContentType
FieldLink.Name = ContentType

Field.InternalName = Title
FieldLink.Name = Title

Field.InternalName = Body
FieldLink.Name = Body

Field.InternalName = Expires
FieldLink.Name = Expires

Press ENTER to continue...
