I need an example of how to use a spatial relationship in a query.

[TracySchloss]

I've seen posts where the goal is to let the user draw a polygon and select features within it.  However, I have a twist  on that.  I have a find task that will select a particular district number.  This is displayed to the user in a graphicslayer as a single polygon (will only ever have one polygon in it,  it's just a highlight and I continually clear it out).  I would then like to select all the points in another layer that fall within that district

I see that I can define my query to have a spatialRelationship of "SPATIAL_REL_WITHIN", but I can't find a good example of how I might use this.  I"m not even sure this is my best approach.  I've also been looking at the geometry service and the relations it returns.

Tanya,

   When you use the QueryTask there is a "text" and a "where" attribute on the Query.

The text property will search the display field of your layer, it is a short hand for a where clause of:  where YourDisplayField like '%SearchText%'.

You want to use the where attribute so you can have a specific SQL query statement.

Ok will try that again... I hope you went through the website link and could see the random behaviour for certain division numbers.. Thanks..will keep u posted if once it gets resolved..

Hey Robert, it worked with where clause..Guess some logic issue in Find Task but Query task works fine now..

Thanks a ton...
