How to get Column Title?

[Kenneth]

Is it possible from .NET application to load a .mpp-file at get the Title of
a certain column?

Here's how I'd like it to work:

ApplicationClass projectApp = new ApplicationClass();
projectApp.AppMaximize();
projectApp.FileOpen(@"MyFile.mpp", ... other variables here... );
Project project = projectApp.ActiveProject;
string title = project.GetFieldTitle(PjField.pjTaskText20); // <--
this line won't work

What I'd like to get is the text "City" if that's what a user has changed
the title of the column with Field name Text20...

Regards,
Kenneth

I have never done this before. Do you have access to a Project Server
database? Because there is a TABLE that stores that information.

Unfortunately, the program will have to open a .mpp file (Project file) and
not access a Project Server database...

Try:

activeproject.TaskTables("Entry").TableFields(3).Title

Note that a column that uses the Field name as a title, does not have a
title and the code returns ""
