LayerItemViewModel.LayerType = null

Why is the LayerItemViewModel.LayerType always null unless it's a "Group Layer"?

I'm writing a ValueConverter in order to display nodes differently in the Legend control based on their LayerType. For example, I need to know the difference between an Annotation Layer and an Annotation Sub Layer. Also, I need to know if a layer is a Raster Layer. I appear to be at a dead end though, because the Layer Type is always null in these cases.

Help!

You are right, it's a bug.

Hopefully, it will be fixed in the next version.
Sorry about that.

Thank you for the quick and straightforward answer.

I will look for that in the next version, then.

Other than that, let me take this opportunity to tell you how happy I am with the Legend control. Thank you!
