Adding multiple feature layers from the same feature service

In my addin, I can successfully add a feature layer from a feature server to the current map using the LayerFactory, for example, adding layer 0:

LayerFactory.Instance.CreateFeatureLayer(new Uri("http://localhost:port/.../FeatureServer/0"), map);

If I try to add a different layer (from the same server), say layer 1, such as:

LayerFactory.Instance.CreateFeatureLayer(new Uri("http://localhost:port/.../FeatureServer/1"), map);

The function returns null. Using a tool like Fiddler shows that ArcGIS does not even attempt to contact the server given the URL.

Is there a particular process one should follow when adding feature layers from the same feature server?

No one else has this question

Try using the path to the FeatureServer itself. You should get a parent composite layer ("group") that contains all of the individual layer end points (however many there are).

LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer(new Uri("http://....url here.../FeatureServer", UriKind.Absolute), MapView.Active.Map);

Thanks for the response, Charles. Adding the feature server does create a group layer containing all the feature layers.

A follow-up question: it is possible for the FeatureServer to get updated with a new layer. How would I add this new layer to the group, or somehow "refresh" the group layer for any new layers? I tried something like:

// groupLayer = the existing group layer

// "layer 5" is the newly available layer in the FeatureServer

LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer(new Uri("http://... url here.../FeatureServer/5"), groupLayer);

But returns null as before.
