ESRI.ArcGIS.Client Namespace > ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer Class : VisibleLayers Property

Gets or sets the sub-layers that are visible in an ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property VisibleLayers As Integer()
C# 
public int[] VisibleLayers {get; set;}

Remarks

To set visiblility of an ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer when a Silverlight application first loads, define the VisibleLayers Property during the Initialized Event.

The screenshot corresponds to the code example in this document. The Url for the ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer was "http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com:80/arcgis/rest/services/Specialty/ESRI_StateCityHighway_USA/MapServer" and was zoomed into the state of Florida.

Example of setting the VisibleLayers Property.

Property Value

Integer array containing sub-layer ids.

  // The myArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer (an ArcGISDynamicServiceLayer object) and TextBlock_VisibleLayers

  // Display which sub-layers (via their index number) are visible in a TextBlock.
