ImageServiceIdentifyResult has no LayerName

RyanCoodey — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 22:22:51 GMT

The ImageServiceIdentifyResult class does not seem to have a LayerName property like IdentifyResult does... is there any way to get this info from either ImageServiceIdentifyEventArgs or ImageServiceIdentifyResult?

Thanks a lot!

The ImageServiceIdentifyResult class has a 'Name' property.
For example with this image service, the Name property is returning 'PreAerial2001'.

Is it what you are looking for?

Hmmm, for me the Name property contains the string "Pixel", which is not the Name/ID of the Layer... any ideas?

Thanks for the reply Dominique!

You are right, it's returning 'Pixel'.

So it looks like the layer name info is not available.

A workaround might be to add it in the delegate hooked up to ExecuteComplete event:

 
identifyTask.ExecuteCompleted += (s,e) => IdentifyTask_ExecuteCompleted(s, e, "MyImageLayerID");
.........
private void IdentifyTask_ExecuteCompleted(object sender, ImageServiceIdentifyEventArgs args, string layerID)
{
......

Thanks for confirming and for the example Dominique!

I use the same handling method for multiple image layers, so to make my life easier I just keep track of the last identified items layer name and in the method just use this.

Thanks!
