2.1 Legend and Raster Layers

Question

I love the new legend control in 2.1. I am wondering if there is any way to set up symbology for a raster layer in ArcMap so that the service can pick up a symbol for the legend. Is it possible?

Thanks!

You are right. The legend REST end point is available from AGS 10 SP1.
The fallback mechanism, using arcgis.com legend service, needs a publicaly visible map service.

Yes, it's possible to customize the legend tree on the event 'Legend.refreshed'.

Ryan did it and gave his code here : http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/17674-2.1-LegendItems-Always-Null

Thanks Dominique. I'm not so much interested in customizing the legend as getting it working with Map Services. I think that my problem is that our services are hosted on an AWS instance running AGS 10 (NOT SP1). There seems to be a problem with the way the legend symbols are served via ArcGis.com. I guess we can wait for SP1 images to show up so we can take advantage of the new legend service.

Hi Don,
 
Looks like you are working with JavaScript API, not with Silverlight.
