Interesting clue about SharePoint Field Internal Name

Hi All,

Just came across to an interesting clued about SharePoint field internal name. We all know that SharePoint replaces space character in field with _x0020_ character and it is because XML element cannot have space in it I guess.

So simplest way to deal with this is to use two static methods.

1) System.XML.XmlConvert.EncodeName() to encode
2) System.XML.XmlConvert.DecodeName() to decode

Hope this will help somebody someday.
