I am trying to implement this sample with my own data and even though the combobox is properly populated, when the selection is changed the second query cannot find a matching feature. I am wondering what is wrong and noticed that nowhere is it specified which field to search. If I specifically set the Where clause, it does work. So I am wondering what's up with the sample code and why does it work in the sample and not in my project?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks for any insights.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:34:47 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/problem-with-query/m-p/210154#M5225 DonFreeman 2013-03-21T17:34:47Z Re: Problem with query https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/problem-with-query/m-p/210155#M5226 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>The sample is using </SPAN><A href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Tasks.Query~Text.html">Query.Text </A><SPAN>property which is a shorthand for a literal search text on the display field. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>If your display field is not the one you want to use for querying, you can set the where clause instead.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 22 Mar 2013 12:04:12 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/problem-with-query/m-p/210155#M5226 DominiqueBroux 2013-03-22T12:04:12Z
