Get Layer Description From Sublayer

Question

I'm trying to display meta data on sub layers. My plan was to pull it through the API from the Description field. For example "CRS 35-1-105(c) I �?? IV" in the below service:

http://165.127.200.27/OITGISDevelopment/rest/services/GovRegions/GovRegions_CDA/MapServer/1

I'm looking for it in the API and don't see it anywhere. Is there a way to get it from the layerInfos object under the ArcGISTiledMapService object?

Thanks in advance!

You can get LayerDetails in many different ways. See the "See also" links at the top of the AS Doc for LayerDetails.

You can also use the LayerDetails class.

Is this only available if I bring it in as a feature layer? If I do it as dynamic or tiled I can't get to it right? All I see is layerInfos which only contains the name of the sublayer but no definition.
