To use DescribeSObjectResult to fetch SObject field information, you can do it like this:

  Map labelMap = new Map(); Schema.DescribeSObjectResult objectDescribe = My_Object__c.SObjectType.getDescribe(); Map fieldMap = objectDescribe.fields.getMap(); for( String fieldName : fieldMap.keySet() ) { Schema.SObjectField field = fieldMap.get( fieldName ); Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldDescribe = field.getDescribe(); labelMap.put(fieldDescribe.getLabel(), fieldDescribe.getName() ); }
