Description

The name of the layer's primary display field.

Remarks

Usually this field name contains the string "name", or is the first string field found in the layer's attributes. This field is used to show map tips for the layer. The value of this property must match the name of one of the fields in the layer's FeatureClass.

Note, if a display expression is set, this method will return a nullstring if queried and fail if you try to set a value. See IDisplayExpressionProp for more information.
