SharePoint : How to retrieve all the properties from a list by using the GetListItems() method.
The example given in the SDK doesnt retrieve all the properties of the list. For e.g., I want to retrieve the file size. This property not found the results returned by the SDK sample. The work around is as follows.
localhost.Lists listService = new localhost.Lists();
listService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
//empty view fields
XmlNode ndViewFields = xmlDoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element,"ViewFields","");
//get the items
XmlNode ndListItems = listService.GetListItems("Shared Documents", null, null, ndViewFields, null, null);
//display the node
MessageBox.Show(ndListItems.OuterXml);
//The file size property name will be ows_FileSizeDisplay
