I created a custom EditForm for my document library and the field Name that containing the document name is not showing up. How to insert it in my form ?

This article is talking about a similar issue with the Created By field.

I also read solutions talking about "__designer:bind" and they are not working for me. I got the following error message:

...does not contains TestDeviceFilter definition and no extension method 'testDeviceFilter' with argument...

Finaly I searched for a column named Name inside my document library definition and I wasn't able to find it, (actually there are several columns named "Name" but they aren't relevant).

  • Can you try with Title of the document instead of Name ?

  • I'm not sure what you're asking. I tried with the title of the document and I got it. But what I want is the name of the document.

I added the following snippet:

<td class="ms-formbody">
  <SharePoint:FormField runat="server" ID="field_name" controlMode="Edit" FieldName="Name" />                                 
</td>

I don't know why but the FieldName attribute should be the exact displayed name (and NOT the internal name) of the column we want to display.
