Take data from renamed column

Question

I created visual web part and used client object model to take data from a list.
Worked perfect, but when I renamed the list column script failed to take data from the list.
When I rename the list column back script worked again.
How I can take data from the list which has rename columns?
Thanks for any help

It could be because you are using hard coded column names in your script.
here are different ways you can make your script to work-
1. Use the internal name of the column

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.sharepoint.spfieldcollection.getfieldbyinternalname(v=office.14).aspx
2. change the column name in your code to the corresponding new name
3. or
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.sharepoint.spfieldcollection.trygetfieldbystaticname(v=office.14).aspx
Hope this helps!
