TimeSlider Issue using FeatureLayer with Start and End Time Fields

I posted this on an old thread, but think it may have been lost.

When TimeSlider ThumbCount is set to 2 (filtering on date range) we want to be able to utilize a FeatureLayer that is time aware and has a "Start Time Field" AND an "End Time Field". When this is the setup we get a strange result that shows all features in this layer up to the end time range of the slider. It's like the begin time range of the slider is not being utilized. This is the only situation that shows a strange result, which makes me suspect there may be a bug.

In the ESRI examples the time aware layer that is used ONLY has a "Start Time Field" set. We decided to test incorporating the SAME time aware layer in different ways and it worked as expected in the two tests below with ThumbCount set to 2.

* Time Aware Feature Layer with ONLY "Start Time Field". (Same as ESRI example)
* Time Aware ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer with BOTH "Start Time Field" and "End Time Field"

We would really like to incorporate this layer as a FeatureLayer and not a ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer. If anyone has any additional information it would be helpful.

Thanks,
Tom Lynch

This is a bug in the FeatureLayer. It will be fixed in the next release.
