FeatureDataForm refresh after coded value domain change

Question

I'm programmatically modifying the values of a coded value domain, and after doing so, can't seem to get the FeatureDataForm to refresh so the combobox displays the new set of values.  Is there a trick?

Thanks for the reply, Chris.

Unfortunately, republishing the service is impractical for our application.

Investigating SOE's as a workaround.  If I have no luck there, I will have to abandon the Silverlight API, which would be a bummer.

The FeatureDataForm only works off the Domains that come from the FeatureLayer.LayerInfo. You have to add the new CodedValueDomain to your service then republish the service with the additional CodedValueDomains.

Thanks, Jennifer, but I'm reporting a different problem.  I am not modifying the attributes of a feature, I'm modifying a column's coded value domain.  For example,
FeatureLayer ptFeatureLayer = map1.Layers["pointFeatureLayer"] as FeatureLayer;
foreach (Field field in ptFeatureLayer.LayerInfo.Fields)
{
 if (field.Name.ToLower() == "habitat")
 {
  CodedValueDomain ptCVD = field.Domain as CodedValueDomain;
  ptCVD.CodedValues.Clear();
  ptCVD.CodedValues.Add("test1", "test1");
  ptCVD.CodedValues.Add("test2", "test2");
  // how to update the featuredataform combobox for the new CVD values?   
  break;
 }
}
