Neat Tool for Getting GUIDs and Attribute Names

This utility is very handy for SharePoint development in order to extract the GUID of a List and other attributes.

If you type in the URL of a Site, then press Display List Titles and IDs, you will get a list of Lists within that site. You can then select (highlight) the GUID of the List you require, do a right-click with your mouse and then select Set List GUID. This will copy the GUID into the text-box called List ID (as shown below).

Select the GUID of your List and Right-Click to reveal further options

Once the List GUID is copied to the List ID text-box field, you can press the Display Views button to display all the available list views and their GUIDs. Again, you can select (highlight) a particular view's GUID, then do a Right-Click to set the view GUID in the View text-box field. (As shown below).

Select the View's GUID and Right-Click to set the View GUID into the View text-box field

You can then click on the Display Items button or the Display default List Attribute Names button (results of which are shown below). The Display default List Attribute Names will show you the internal names of the fields in your list.
