Examples

The following code example displays the internal names of fields that involve field references.

The example assumes the existence of an .aspx page that contains a label control.

This example requires using directives (Imports in Visual Basic) for the Microsoft.SharePoint and Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities namespaces.

Dim site As SPSite = SPContext.Current.Site
Dim web As SPWeb = site.AllWebs("Site_Name")
Dim fields As SPFieldCollection = web.Lists("List_Name").Fields
Dim i As Integer

For i = 0 To fields.Count - 1

    Dim refFields As String() = fields(i).FieldReferences

    If Not (refFields Is Nothing) Then

        Dim j As Integer

        For j = 0 To refFields.Length - 1

            Label1.Text += SPEncode.HtmlEncode(refFields(j)) & "<BR>"

        Next j

    End If

Next i

SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPWeb oWebsite = oSiteCollection.AllWebs["Site_Name"];
SPFieldCollection collFields = oWebsite.Lists["List_Name "].Fields;

for (int intIndex=0; intIndex<collFields.Count; intIndex++)
{
    string[] strRefFields = collFields[intIndex].FieldReferences;

    if (strRefFields != null)
    {
        for (int intStrPos=0; intStrPos<strRefFields.Length; intStrPos++)
        {
            Label1.Text += SPEncode.HtmlEncode(strRefFields[intStrPos]) + "<BR>";
        }
    }
}
oWebsite.Dispose();
