Summary

Returning attributes associated with features is one of the most common operations in GIS. ArcGIS Server has two tasks that can help with this: IdentifyTask and FindTask. IdentifyTask is used to return the attributes of a feature that has been clicked on the map. FindTask also returns feature attributes but performs a simple attribute query. This query helps you to locate features that contain text in the specified fields that satisfy the query. In the next chapter, you will learn how to locate features associated with an address, by using geocoding.
