Limit Identify fields results

AngelGonzalez — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 21:04:18 GMT

I am able to get the Identify sample in the SDK to work in my app. but I notice that it returns all of the fields in the layer. Is it possible to have it return only the fields that are set to be visible within the mxd? I know that you can "remove" a field from the Identify results but when you are working with multiple layers removing all of the fields can become time consuming. Basically I want the Identify tool to mirror the fields that are visible for each layer within my mxd.

Have you tried running the same query through your web browser?

For example this:
http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/HomelandSecurity/operations/MapServer/0/query?text=&geometry=&geometryType=esriGeometryPoint&inSR=&spatialRel=esriSpatialRelIntersects&relationParam=&objectIds=&where=1%3D1&time=&returnIdsOnly=false&returnGeometry=true&maxAllowableOffset=&outSR=&outFields=*&f=html

Do you get the same fields returned regardless if the field property is not checked to be visible?

Thanks for the update but I found my mistake. Even though I setup the mxd correctly and reference the correct mapservice in the xaml I forgot to reference the correct mapservice in the code behind (IdentifyTask). Once corrected it worked as expected. I forgot about the ability to run a query thru the web browser. Need to remember that for the future.

Thanks Again.
