See the sample below, which adds a DynamicMapServiceLayer to a map using the URL:http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/HomelandSecurity/operations/MapServerNavigating to this REST endpoint in a browser shows the component Layers, and each layer's Fields.How can I retrieve this information programatically? I need a list of the available layers (0,1,2) and each layer's available fields (eg layer 0 contains objectid, lifecyclestatus, incident_number, etc)My goal is to add this information to a Query function, so I need to know that I can search layer 1 for the field collection_time, etc.Looping through the layerInfos tells me about each available layer - how can I retrieve information on the fields? (One option is to create a new feature layer from each layer and add it to the map, but I'd really like to avoid this workaround).Thanks,Steve<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
