You can do it through powershell if you need.

$web = get-spweb http://yourweburl
$list = $web.lists["YourList"]
$list.fields["YourColumnname"].id
$web.dispose()
 

You can also use .internalname in place of id to get the internal name used by caml etc.

Hi,

You could get the list column properties including GUID via SharePoint Manager 2010.

If you want this from Developer's approach, you can try using the API shared by Alexandru. One example is available here:

If you want to try this as a end-user(from Browser), then use this:

you can obtain list info + field`s info using this URL in your browser

http://yoursrv/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?XMLDATA=1&List={your list GUID}&Cmd=ExportList&ExtendedFieldsProperties=1&ExcludeViews=1

To view List GUID: Go to List settings and copy from browser address list GUID (encoded)
