Problem selecting features from a Feature Layer

Question

Hi All

What I'm trying to do is link to feature from a database, so I search for features using a query task and get returned a feature set. What I need to do then is select the returned feature,(there should only be one), and then start editing its vertices.

I have an Editor object and i should be able to use Editor.EditVertices.Execute("myGraphic"). However I get an argument exception when I do this. It seems that when I select the feature, I'm not selecting the feature on the layer, just a copy of it. So my question is, what is the best way to programmatically select a feature based on an attribute, from a feature layer, so that I can then pass that feature to the edit vertices method ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'm probably missing something obvious ??

Thanks

Grant

This is because you have hit the maximum number of records that could be returned by your service (default is 1000 in version 10). You can either increase this value using Server Manager (under "Parameters" tab look for "Maximum Number of Records Returned by Server" at the end of the panel) or use the OnDemand mode for your FeatureLayer (see SDK sample here: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#FeatureLayerOnDemand).

Thanks for the updated Code. It works nicely, however I still have the issue where it looks like the Feature Layer is not searching over all features, only the first 1000. Am I missing a parameter or something here ? When I look at the layer in ArcMap it has 2119 features, but when I look at Count field of GraphicsCollection associated with the Feature Layer, its only 1000. It almost seems like its being limited to this. I have set the mode to snapshot also, so it should be grabbing all the features ?? Also I am returning all fields and as I said when I hard code an objectid of "1" the LINQ query works, it just seems like it won't return anythign with an ObjectID over 1000.

Again thanks for all the help.

Cheers
