I created a T4 template file that will:
1 – Search for SharePoint fields.
2 – Generate type safe FieldNames and ID’s for them.
<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="true" language="C#" #>
<#@ output extension=".cs" #>
<#@ assembly name="EnvDTE" #>

var hostServiceProvider = (IServiceProvider)Host;
var dte = (EnvDTE.DTE)hostServiceProvider.GetService(typeof(EnvDTE.DTE));
var activeSolutionProjects = (Array)dte.ActiveSolutionProjects;
var dteProject = (EnvDTE.Project)activeSolutionProjects.GetValue(0);
var defaultNamespace = dteProject.Properties.Item("DefaultNamespace").Value;
var templateDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(Host.TemplateFile);
var fullPath = dteProject.Properties.Item("FullPath").Value.ToString();
fullPath = fullPath.EndsWith("") ? fullPath.Substring(0, fullPath.Length-1) : fullPath;
var subNamespace = templateDir.Replace(fullPath, string.Empty).Replace("", ".");
var fileNamespace = string.Concat(defaultNamespace, subNamespace);
// END GET fileNamespace
// GET All Fields from XML files -> http://weblogs.asp.net/lhunt/pages/CSharp-Coding-Standards-document.aspx
string searchPath = new DirectoryInfo(fullPath).Parent.FullName;
Stack folderList = new Stack();
List allXmlFiles = new List();
string[] currentFolders = null;
string[] currentFiles = null;
string thisFolder = null;
folderList.Push(searchPath);
while(folderList.Count > 0)
{
thisFolder = folderList.Pop();
currentFiles = Directory.GetFiles(thisFolder, "*.xml");
foreach(string file in currentFiles)
if (!file.Contains("Debug"))
allXmlFiles.Add(file);
currentFolders = Directory.GetDirectories(thisFolder);
if(currentFolders != null && currentFolders.Length > 0)
foreach(string folder in currentFolders)
folderList.Push(folder);
}
var fields = new List<KeyValuePair<string, KeyValuePair<string, KeyValuePair<string, string>>>>();
foreach (string xmlFile in allXmlFiles)
{
var doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(xmlFile);
XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
foreach (XmlNode node in root.ChildNodes)
if (node.Name == "Field" && node.Attributes != null)
{
var attributeName = node.Attributes["Name"];
var attributeID = node.Attributes["ID"];
var attributeDisplayName = node.Attributes["DisplayName"];
string fieldName = "";
string fieldId = "";
string fieldDisplayName = "";
if (attributeName != null) fieldName = attributeName.InnerText;
if (attributeID != null) fieldId = attributeID.InnerText;
if (attributeDisplayName != null) fieldDisplayName = attributeDisplayName.InnerText;
fields.Add(
new KeyValuePair<string, KeyValuePair<string, KeyValuePair<string, string>>>(
fieldName,
new KeyValuePair<string, KeyValuePair<string, string>>(
xmlFile.Replace(searchPath + "",""), new KeyValuePair<string, string>(fieldId, fieldDisplayName))));
}
}
