Cannot find FeatureLayerInfo.Get

[babarouf]

How can I call this method to request the LayerInfo of feature Layer.

Documentation states

"Information about the feature layer. If null, can be obtained by calling FeatureLayerInfo.Get and listening to its Ready event. When the Ready event is fired, the LayerInfo property can be set to the FeatureLayerInfo that is now ready for use. "

If you are using FeatureLayer, after the layer has successfully initialized, you can check FeatureLayer.LayerInfo property. If you are using ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer, you can use GetAllDetails or GetDetails().

            var layer = new FeatureLayer() { Url = "http://servicesbeta2.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/SF311/FeatureServer/0" };
            layer.Initialized += (a, b) =>
                {
                    if (layer.InitializationFailure == null)
                    {
                        var info = layer.LayerInfo;
                       
                    }
                };
            layer.Initialize();

            var layer = new ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer() { Url = "http://servicesbeta2.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/SF311/MapServer" };
            layer.GetDetails(0, (a, b) =>
                {
                    if (b == null)
                    {
                        var info = a as FeatureLayerInfo;
                    }
                });

Thanks Jennifer,

I am aware of the LayerInfo and GetDetails in Feature Layer and ArcgisDynamicLayer respectively.

Actually, I have to get the Layername of the FeatureLayer in the layer collectionchanged event. Till that time Layer is not intilized so I need to get the Layerinfo by another request. After going through the api references. I found that FeatureLayerInfo.Get is used to request for the LayerInfo.

I can request for the json but documentation mentions that there is a Get method to request for the layerinfo but I couldn't found one.

FeatureLayerInfo.Get() is an internal method to the API, which means you have no access to it. It is called to set FeatureLayer.LayerInfo. This property is ready once layer has initialized, therefore you can use Initialized event to retrieve it from layer as shown in the code snippet.

Hi Jennifer,

I am curious about your code below. Are "a" and "b" just dummy variables for "sender" and "args"?

If you are using FeatureLayer, after the layer has successfully initialized, you can check FeatureLayer.LayerInfo property. If you are using ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer, you can use GetAllDetails or GetDetails().

            var layer = new FeatureLayer() { Url = "http://servicesbeta2.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/SF311/FeatureServer/0" };
            layer.Initialized += (a, b) =>
                {
                    if (layer.InitializationFailure == null)
                    {
                        var info = layer.LayerInfo;
                       
                    }
                };
            layer.Initialize();

            var layer = new ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer() { Url = "http://servicesbeta2.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/SF311/MapServer" };
            layer.GetDetails(0, (a, b) =>
                {
                    if (b == null)
                    {
                        var info = a as FeatureLayerInfo;
                    }
                });

Yes, that's correct. I should probably have called them (a) layerInfo/s and (b) exception for readability.

a,b were just parameter names that have the following type (see the method signature).

Thanks for the clarification.
