Hi mfilion,

We never encounter such behavior. I suppose that when you execute the query you wrote, you get an exception such as: "Your query does not contain any valid field to display"?

1. Which version of ERSDE are you using?
2. If you are using a version >= 3.0, can you use Query Builder to executes the query. (You can import a query in Query Builder by creating a new project, then selecting "Import" in the "Query" menu)
3. Could you try to make this query with useDisplayName="true" so we can see if the field is correctly returned when using display names, your query would look like this:

<root>
<list title="Demandes" relativeSiteUrl="/sites/SA/demande" tableName="Demandes" useDisplayName="true">
<fields>État de la demande</fields>
<query></query>
</list>
</root>

Thank you,

Hi mfilion,

Could you send us to our support address (available in the last page of the documentation) the list template (*.stp) of your list, so we can do internal tests to see what is going on.

I think you are perfectly right.

That would explain why the xml parser would not return does fields, and for that matter not see in the result.

The namespace that you see, is added automatically by the Microsoft solution generator when you generate field definition over an existing list.

I will try removing the namespace for a try.
