Populate combo box in widget from Map Service Table (ArcGIS Server 10)

Question

I'm creating a new widget with a series of combo boxes. The data source for each como box is a table that is part of a map service. Is it necessary to loop through the table and add the values to the combobox? Or can I just somehow reference the table using the QueryTask. Below is a snippet of my code showing what I'm trying to do. Any help or samples would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Barb Patteron Inside my widget template I have:

Take a look at this thread for populating a combo box from a feature class field and ensuring they are unique and sorted.

Thanks, Barb Patteron Inside my widget template I have: Barbara, I see you were looking for a solution to populate a combobox with values from a table present in a map service. I am also trying to do the same thing to populate with values in a field of a feature class in a service. I also need to create this list of unique values. Have you figured out how to do it. If so, please post a sample. nshaukat

Barbara,

I think you will need to execute the query through a helper function, then it may be possible to bind the dataProvider property of the comboBox to the executeLastResult property of the query task.
