Sharepoint: rename column (field) with C#

Question

I want to rename a column (field) of some list with C#. How do I do this? Resetting 'Title' property or something else doesn't work.

Answer 1

There's some sample code for changing the title of a column here:

Answer 2

Make sure you update the field by calling its Update() method after setting the value. Can you post your code?

Answer 3

Do you want to change the actual column name or change the display title?

The first is not possible.. (unless you delete and re-create the column). The display title yes, like the others said.
