You won't be able to do so. Can you explain what you are trying to achieve?

Andriy Ivanov ,

Actually i want to get the symbology attached with the layer i have opened using mapservices. i have gone through with the explorer object diagram, i think it is possible if i assign the target layer from mapdisplay as a featurelayer and get its renderer property. pls let me know in this reagrd if u have ny idea.

Thanks Maximus

Regarding, accessing FeaureLayer through c# code in arcExplorer, I am facing problem in implementing the code snippet which has given on ESRI resources @ http://resources.esri.com/help/900/arcgisexplorer/sdk/doc/49051a25-7752-415b-8925-06e8e83c1114.htm

which says:
[C#]

//Return the feature layer.
FeatureLayer campsitesLayer = Application.ActiveMapDisplay.Map.FindByName(
    "Campsites")as FeatureLayer;
//Return the renderer associated with the layer.
FeatureRenderer renderer = campsitesLayer.Renderer;
//Assign a new symbol to the layer.
renderer.SetSymbol(Symbol.Marker.Recreation.Camping);

When I give like,
FeatureLayer fl = ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Application.Application.ActiveMapDisplay.Map.FindByName(
    "Cities")as FeatureLayer;
nothing is being assigned to "fl" .. and "fl" remains null.

And in the code snippet, it is written like "Application.ActiveMapDisplay.Map.FindByName(
    "Campsites")as FeatureLayer;"
but without adding " ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Application." in the front of the code given there, ambiguity error arises in my ArcExplorer.

Can anyone help with this problem.!!

You won't be able to get symbology off the mapservice via ArcGIS Explorer SDK. To do so, you'd need access to ArcObjects, and request symbol from ILegendClass within ILegendGroup.

I successfully ran that code. Make sure your layer is "Cities" with capital C. It is case sensitive.

Piyush,

all I am trying to say you won't be able to do it with ArcGIS Explorer. SDK does not expose symbol for ServiceChildLayer.

Andriy Ivanov,

Thanks for the information. ArcGIS Explorer does not expose mousemove and symbology, now in that case what options i have from ESRI so that i can do all these things in 3D. Pls let me know in this regards
