IdentifyTask for local FeatureLayers

[AndyWright]

Are there plans to provide IdentifyTask functionality in the Quartz release for layers in the map that are derived from local geodatabases?  findFeatures does the trick, but we need to run that on each individual layer.  It would be nice if we could supply a list of layer IDs and have the task do all the work on each layer itself, which is how it currently works against layers in the map that are derived from feature services.

Hi Andy,

We plan to have a new findFeatures paradigm at Quartz. Instead of having a findFeatures operation for layers, we will have an identify operation that is done on the map view. This will perform an identify, similar to how you identify on a map in ArcMap. It will do the identify on all layers in the map view that are within the tolerance of your touch or click event.

Thanks,

Luke

Ok cool. That sounds like a much better and consistent way to implement that stuff. Thanks for the heads up Luke …
