check if SPField exists using list services

Question

I want to check if a custom field exists for my list using list services but not sure how I can do it, I know it can be done using object model method "ContainsField()" but how can I do same with services,

    public bool fieldExists()
    {
        XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); 
                    //field exists or not ?

Answer 1

Yup you can look into hash table and find key you need for that field if it exists or not. I don't remember 100% the code I used but I will try to provide it someone need it in future.

Hope it helps if someone else came across same problem :)
