TOC Example using WMS?

Question

Hi,

I can't seem to find much on a TOC (including the one many people use by Robert) that handles WMS Services. Has anyone done this yet?

Tony,

I assume you mean a TOC (like ArcMap) that has layer symbology. WMS is a very different creature than a ArcGIS Server Map Service and thus the access to the legend may of may not exist on the WMS server, this make it difficult to work with WMS. There is not a solution out there that I am aware of.

As you can see from this ArcGIS Bug, even ArcMap can have issues:

Thanks for your reply Robert,

I'm not actually looking for the combined legend as I have the TOC and Legend as different modules. I was just wondering if anyone had a working example of a TOC working with both Dynamic Mapservices and WMS so i could have a snoop!
