I have a list named "CustomList" which contains a calculated field called "Calculated". I am going to get the formula for the calculated column using Client Object model.

 

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;

namespace COM

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

// siteURL is the string that contains the site URL

string siteUrl = "http://serverName:50000/sites/Testing";

// ClientContext object is used to get the context for the SharePoint objects

ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);

Web web = clientContext.Web;

List list = web.Lists.GetByTitle("CustomList");

Field field = list.Fields.GetByTitle("Calculated");

FieldCalculated calculatedField = clientContext.CastTo<FieldCalculated>(field);

clientContext.Load(calculatedField);

clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

Console.WriteLine(calculatedField.Formula);

Console.ReadLine()

}

}

}
