Map symbology update with Mobile SDK

[MarkSta]

I read this post - http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/26641-symbology-in-Mobile-10

Which seems to indicate i cannot change a symbol on a mobile map.  However, i was wondering if i have a map that contains symbology for a two state (bit) data point is it possible to update the underlying data and have the point change symbols when switching the field from true to false ( 0 - 1).  Currently i can delete the data point but i need to be able to review the description of the data point after a survey, but mark it as surveyed by updating this field/symbol.  Is there any way to do this with a stand alone mobile map?

Thanks,

Mark

It is possible to set up symbology in ArcMap before you send the map to the mobile device. If you are doing programatically you have to set up appropriate symbols and uniquevalue renderers. However a strange behaviour I have noticed is if you create symbols within a loop (ie. if you do not know how many unique values a field may have to set up symbology before run time)  and add it to your renderer, the mobile device does not change the symbol even if the underlying attribute value is changed. The correct symbology is reflected in ArcMap, after the mobile map is synchronized with the desktop. Mobile map seems to not show the updated symbols unless the desktop map is re-published / re- sent to the mobile.

I am bumping this thread to see if anyone has suggestions for me. I am unable to update the symbology in the hand held device, if the UVRs are assigned within a loop in custom code in arcmap.
