Change Feature Layer Data Source URL

Question

I have about 14 feature layers, and i want to be able to switch our the Data Source URL from my code if it does not match the environment I am in. i would even settle for being able to just drop and re-add the layer if it has a different datasource then the one I want to load. Unfortunately, I cant seem to find how to Get/Set this value for a layer? I attached a screen shot of what I want to get/set FeatureLayer LoadLayer = GetBasicFeaturLayer(entry.Key) as FeatureLayer; if (LoadLayer == null) //Not already on the Map, load it { Uri uri = new Uri(NEWurl + entry.Value); LoadLayer = LayerFactory.Instance.CreateFeatureLayer(uri, MapView.Active.Map, position); } else { //HERE //HERE //I need to check if the layer that already exists on the map has a different datasource //IF CURRENT URL != NEWurl //If Not equal, then remove existing layer or some how redo the data source //Here is the remove logic, but I would rather rename, but I first need to find out if datasouce is different RemoveBasicFeaturLayer(entry.Key); Uri uri = new Uri(NEWurl + entry.Value); LoadLayer = LayerFactory.Instance.CreateFeatureLayer(uri, MapView.Active.Map, position); } ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ 2018-04-13_15-32-23.jpg Capture.png dash2.png

The following code should allow you to reset the URL of a feature service layer. The `newConnectionString` variable is your new url: private static void FixDataConnectionLayer(Layer dataConnectionLayer, string newConnectionString) { CIMStandardDataConnection dataConnection = dataConnectionLayer.GetDataConnection() as CIMStandardDataConnection; dataConnection.WorkspaceConnectionString = newConnectionString; dataConnectionLayer.SetDataConnection(dataConnection); }‍‍‍‍‍‍
