MoveLayer not working as documented

KirkKuykendall

The documentation for ILayerContainerEdit.MoveLayer says:

The position specified by the 0-based index. If the index is invalid, the layer is moved to the bottom.

However this code doesn't move the layer to the bottom:

 Dim srcLayer = MapView.Active.GetSelectedLayers()(0)
 MapView.Active.Map.MoveLayer(srcLayer, 999)<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Only 3 layers are in the map.

Hi Kirk,

The MoveLayer method does move the layer to the bottom if you pass in a valid index.

We will look into this! 

But in the meantime, this code snippet will help with moving the layer to the bottom:

<SPAN class="keyword token">var</SPAN> srcLayer <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> MapView<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Active<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="token function">GetSelectedLayers</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="token function">FirstOrDefault</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN>
