Dim instance As SPFieldLink

public string Name { get; }

The value of this property is identical to the value of the InternalName property of the SPField object that is passed as an argument to the SPFieldLink constructor.

Examples

The following example shows a console application that iterates through the field and field link collections of a content type, and then prints the value of the InternalName property for each field and the value of the Name property for the corresponding field link to the console.

Imports System
Imports Microsoft.SharePoint

Module ConsoleApp
    Sub Main()
        Dim site As SPSite = New SPSite("https://localhost")
        Try
            Dim web As SPWeb = site.OpenWeb()
            Try
                Dim ctName As String = "Announcement"
                Dim contentType As SPContentType = web.ContentTypes(ctName)
                If contentType IsNot Nothing Then
                    For i As Integer = 0 To contentType.Fields.Count - 1
                        Console.WriteLine("Field.InternalName = {0}", contentType.Fields(i).InternalName)
                        Console.WriteLine("FieldLink.Name = {0}", contentType.FieldLinks(i).Name)
                        Console.WriteLine()
                    Next
                End If
            Finally
                web.Dispose()
            End Try
        Finally
            site.Dispose()
        End Try
        Console.Write("Press ENTER to continue...")
        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub
End Module
using System;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;

namespace Test
{
    class ConsoleApp
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("https://localhost"))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                {
                    string ctName = "Announcement";
                    SPContentType contentType = web.ContentTypes[ctName];
                    if (contentType != null)
                    {
                        for (int i = 0; i < contentType.Fields.Count; i++)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Field.InternalName = {0}", contentType.Fields[i].InternalName);
                            Console.WriteLine("FieldLink.Name = {0}", contentType.FieldLinks[i].Name);
                            Console.WriteLine();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            Console.Write("Press ENTER to continue...");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

The application prints the following output to the console.

Field.InternalName = ContentType
FieldLink.Name = ContentType

Field.InternalName = Title
FieldLink.Name = Title

Field.InternalName = Body
FieldLink.Name = Body

Field.InternalName = Expires
FieldLink.Name = Expires

Press ENTER to continue...
