The part of the code tah add the grapchic is:

"....
var graphic = new esri.Graphic(geometry, symbol);
map.graphics.add(graphic);
...."

thanks!!

var graphic = new esri.Graphic(geometry, symbol);
map.graphics.add(graphic);

At the very least, I suspect you'll need to add that graphic to a graphicsLayer rather than the map itself. That way you'll have access to the whole layer of graphics, which you may be able to hook up to the agsjs TOC. I haven't used that myself so I'm not sure how, but hopefully this will give you some pointers.

Have you tried by creating the blank graphicslayer and then calling the map.addlayers function to add your map service layer and graphics layers. And then initializing the TOC on onLayersAddResult event and passing the graphics layer in layer infos.

Hi! I created the TOC, and I've added the graphiclayer array, but only i see in TOC the parent name. The array show me the length of childrens, but I don't see the childrens in the toc, under the parent. What have I missed? Some sample code to do this? Thanks!!

GraphicsLayer is not supported. Do not have time to added it any time soon. If someone wants to give a shot you are welcomed to do so. Basically you need to use esri.symbol.getShapeDescriptors() to get graphics context and use dojo's graphics library to draw the symbol in a node of TOC.
