How to: Obtain a Collection of Available Layers in the ResponseCapabilities Event Handler

• Apr 15, 2018

This example demonstrates how to obtain a collection of layers supported by the Web Map Service.

To do this, use the WmsDataProvider.ResponseCapabilities event arguments to obtain the CapabilitiesResponsedEventArgs.Layers collection.
