Deleting a Custom List Item using a custom field Name

Question

Normally we delete a List item using following code,

using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http:web1/default.aspx"))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                {
                    web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

                    SPList list = web.Lists["MyList"];

                    SPListItemCollection listItems = list.Items;

                    foreach (SPListItem item in listItems)
                    {
                            if (item.DisplayName == "HyperLink")
                            {
                                item.Delete();
                                list.Update();
                            }
                        }

                    web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
                }
            }

I want to compare a HyperLink or Name/Title of HyperLink to the item and delete it, instead of title or DisplayName as its always coming as "(no title)" while debugging.

I Know I need to create an XML node in order to do this but any other way, tutorial or how to do it using XML node will be appreciated.

Cheers

Answer 1

Because SharePoint let User to leave Title Field empty, so I created a Added List Item Event receiver that takes name of Item and assign its value to Title field. hence I didn't needed to delete a item using hyper link any more.
