copied!<p>Besides being Sealed, a field can be read-only, hidden and etc. All these factors might prevent the field from deletion. The more suitable method to delete a list field is the following one:</p> <pre><code>public static bool RemoveField(SPField spField) { if (spField == null) { WriteErrorToLog("spField is null! Please, provide a valid one"); return false; } bool res = false; try { // check if it's a ReadOnly field. // if so, reset it if (spField.ReadOnlyField) { spField.ReadOnlyField = false; spField.Update(); } // check if it's a Hidden field. // if so, reset it if (spField.Hidden) { spField.Hidden = false; spField.Update(); } // check if the AllowDeletion property is set to false. // if so, reset it to true if (spField.AllowDeletion == null || !spField.AllowDeletion.Value) { spField.AllowDeletion = true; spField.Update(); } // If the AllowDeletion property is set, // the Sealed property seems not to be examined at all. // So the following piece of code is commented. /*if(spField.Sealed) { spField.Sealed = false; spField.Update(); }*/ // If the AllowDeletion property is set, // the FromBaseType property seems not to be examined at all. // So the following piece of code is commented. /*if(spField.FromBaseType) { spField.FromBaseType = false; spField.Update(); }*/ // finally, remove the field spField.Delete(); spField.ParentList.Update(); res = true; } catch (Exception ex) { WriteErrorToLog(ex.Message); } return res; } public static bool RemoveField(SPList spList, string displayNameOrInternalNameOrStaticName) { SPField spField = GetFieldByName(spList, displayNameOrInternalNameOrStaticName); if(spField == null) { WriteErrorToLog(string.Format("Couldn't find field {0}!", displayNameOrInternalNameOrStaticName)); return false; } return RemoveField(spField); } public static void WriteErrorToLog(string errorMsg) { // write error into log } </code></pre> <p>Read the <a href="http://dotnetfollower.com/wordpress/2012/07/sharepoint-how-to-delete-a-list-fieldcolumn-programmatically/" rel="nofollow">article</a>, to learn more.</p>
