WMS Layer API support to get LegendURL

[PaigeBaldassaro1]

I can see where the WMSLayer constructor in the API takes a LegendURL parameter, but WMSLayerInfo class doesn't seem to return that same parameter. Is there a way using the Silverlight API to obtain the LegendURL?

At this time, the LegendURL is not publicly exposed.
Likely, there is workaround to get it by using the legend control but this is weird. You can also tweak by yourself the WMS sources that are on codeplex.

For a future version, we may consider to expose this property, what is your exact use case?

Technically, the use case is to simply be able to display a legend for the WMS layer.
Specifically, the sponsor has set a requirement to "support the LegendURL tag in the GetCapabilities call". I know I can write external JavaScript to make that call, but was hoping to be as pure Silverlight as possible.

And why not use the Legend control? From 2.3, it supports WMS layers.

Because the sponsor has made it a specific requirement to use LegendURL tag, unfortunately. Case of them knowing what they want, but not knowing how to get it. I will be making a case for the Legend control since it is the way it should be done, but it may or may not go through.

Thanks for your help.
