I want to know the difference between these two.  I have to select a feature class using a polygon then i need to select again based on the selected features.  My final display should be the features selected in 2nd time.  I used highligh layer activity but the final selection did not get displayed.  

 

thanks.

  Hi Yinghong, 

   

  The Update Graphics Layer activity allows you to update or create a graphics layer so you can control the symbology of of a particular feature set. You can use any of ESRI's renderers to customize how you want the selected features to appear on the map whether you want to use custom icons, set a certain colour or transparency, set labels, etc.

   

  As for the highlight layer (assuming you are doing this through a Run External Command activity), the selected features are simply highlighted in yellow. This method is easy to use and you do not need to create a renderer. If you need help configuring the highlight layer, please consult the workflow example from this code here: https://support.geocortex.com/essentialsGSCCodeGallery?sub-nav=codegall&main-nav=essentials&#

   

  Regards,
