Editing featurelayer without using map

I'm trying to add new features to a Featurelayer. This only seems to work if I get the featurelayer from the map. Is there a way to add features without having to get the layers from the map first?

This is the code I tried, that fails (without any error btw, it just does nothing):

                FeatureLayer layer = new FeatureLayer();
                layer.Url = myLayerUrl;
                layer.AutoSave = false;
                Graphic feature = new Graphic();
                feature.Geometry = myGeometry;
                feature.Attributes.Add("SUMMARY", "hardcoded description 1000");
                layer.Graphics.Add(feature);
                layer.SaveEdits();

I tried calling layer.Inititalize(), but this doesn't seem to do anything either. Maybe I'm missing something here. Is the only way to connect a Featurelayer object to a featureservice to get it from Map.Layers?
I don't want to do this, because not all my tables have to be visible in the map. Also it makes it harder to decouple UI from business objects if i need the Map object everywhere in my application.

Maybe there is another way to get to the featureservice? I can't find any documentation about this.

yes this is possible, but you need to wait for the Initialized event to fire before you do any "editing".

That seems to work. Thank you!
