Feature Layer query after editing

Question

Hello all,

After I perform an edit on a  FeatureLayer, when I query the feature I just edited, the query results return the old value.  This doesn't happen when I add a new feature, only when I edit an existing feature.  Any reason why this is or ideas on how to get the new updated values?

Thanks,
Will

Thanks Jennifer,

Setting DisableClientCaching to true solved the problem.  I'm not getting the correct updated values for my query.  Thank you for the solution.

I tried to replicate the issue by performing an attribute value change on feature service and performing a query on its corresponding map service after the edit was submitted to the server. I was able to see the updated attribute value when my QueryTask ExecuteCompleted.

I used the following code where my FeatureLayer is AutoSave=True so I did not need to call SaveEdits() explicitly. I also subscribed to EndSaveEdits and SaveEditsFailed to make sure that the edit was submitted to the server.
private void Query_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
 Query q = new Query()
 {
  OutFields = new OutFields() { "*" },
  ObjectIDs = new int[] { 78597 },
 };    
 QueryTask qt = new QueryTask("http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/HomelandSecurity/operations/MapServer/2");
 qt.DisableClientCaching = true;
 qt.ExecuteCompleted += new EventHandler<QueryEventArgs>(qt_ExecuteCompleted);
 qt.ExecuteAsync(q);
}

void qt_ExecuteCompleted(object sender, QueryEventArgs e)
{
 foreach (var f in e.FeatureSet.Features)
  System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(f.Attributes["description"]);
}

private void FeatureLayer_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, GraphicMouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
 //78597
 e.Graphic.Attributes["description"] = "this is a test";
}

If SaveEditsFailed event did not get raised and the edit was submitted successfully, maybe you just need to set DisableClientCaching to true on QueryTask http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Tasks.TaskBase~DisableClientCaching.html

I should probably clarify that the QueryTask I'm using is on the MapService while the editing is on the FeatureService for the same published MXD.  I get the feeling that this is where the disconnect lies.

Thanks,
