The documentation for IFieldChecker states that the interface checks for errors in field names. Specifically, it renames the OID field to "ObjectID" based on 4 cases. When creating a standalone table in a geodatabase, using the IFieldsEdit interface to create the OID field, there are no requirements on what constitutes a valid name for the OID field. However, if the OID field is not named "ObjectID" when fed to the FieldChecker, it is changed to "ObjectID". What constitutes a valid OID field name? Are there any restrictions on valid OID field names in a geodatabase? Will naming my OID field something other than "ObjectID" cause issues? See relevant code below:
IFields fields = new FieldsClass();
IFieldsEdit fieldsEdit = (IFieldsEdit)fields;
fieldsEdit.FieldCount_2 = 10;
IField field = new Field();
IFieldEdit fieldEdit = (IFieldEdit)field;
fieldEdit.Name_2 = "MyOidFieldName";
fieldEdit.Type_2 = esriFieldType.esriFieldTypeOID;
fieldsEdit.set_Field(0, field);
// Add other fields here...
// use IFieldChecker to create validated fields collection
IFieldChecker fieldChecker = new FieldChecker();
IEnumFieldError enumFieldError = null;
IFields validatedFields = null;
fieldChecker.ValidateWorkspace = (IWorkspace)fws; //fws = my feature workspace
fieldChecker.Validate(fields, out enumFieldError, out validatedFields); //<--my OID field name is changed to "ObjectID"
