I'm looking to search within each list for a column. The problem is that this column is referred to differently in CAML. Look at this for a detailed explanation: Finding the internal name and display name for a list column

I'd like to know if there is a way to search the column name in CAML. I've been reading over here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms467521.aspx and it seems as if you can only use or to search the values within the column itself. Is there a way of doing this using CAML?

I'm not sure that you can do it with CAML, but you should be able to use the Lists web service to get a list of all columns for a list. What's the application here?

  • I'm making this recursive deletion a bit more flexible. Possibly a template. Your question just made me look at what I was doing and I think I got it now. Silly me, I was using GetListItems instead of GetList. That should be all it takes.

  • Roger; I wasn't sure if you were trying to do some wacky complex query or something ;-)
