I'm trying to figure out how to get the elevation at a given MapPoint from a surface.  I'm getting all of my MapPoint values from a MapTool click event.  The Z value is not set at this point.  I have a TIN layer added to my map but can't find how to get the elevation from it.

It doesn't look like you can. That dialog only supports local data.

The team tells me that will be available in 1.4

My work around is to use System.Net.WebClient to issue an Identify request to the AGOL NED30M elevation surface.  It's slow for lots of points but accurate. I gave the user a progressor dialog so they can see how long it's going to take.  Will look at 1.4 release notes for some capability to query the view's elevation surface.
