Just finished building my first mobile map in ArcGIS mobile project center and opened it in ArcGIS for windows mobile but quickly realized there is no way to turn on a legend to show what the symbology represents?
Is there a way to display a legend?

Does MapPage not have a "Layer visibility..." item in the menu? resources.arcgis.com/en/help/windows-mobile-sdk/concepts/…– ThomasOct 19, 2015 at 16:54

Layer visibility allows you to turn on and off layers - it doesn't show what symbols represent which layers. I'm looking for something like the following: Legend Road ====== River ~~~~~~~~ Commercial Land /////– Greg RodgerOct 19, 2015 at 17:26

If you're looking for a properly symbolized legend in ArcGIS for Windows Mobile, you will unfortunately have to write your own implementation using the LegendItem class to render the swatches.
As a start, you would do something similar to this...
size = new Size(25, 25);
IList<LegendItem> legendList = layer.Renderer.GetLegendSwatches(YOUR_PANEL.BackColor, size.Width, size.Height);
if (legendList != null)
{
foreach (LegendItem legendSwatch in legendList)
{
PictureBox picture = new PictureBox();
picture.Size = size;
picture.Image = legendSwatch.Image;
picture.Location = // .......
YOUR_PANEL.Controls.Add(picture);
}
}

I trust Thomas' answer but will never have the time to implement. Unfortunate that the off the shelf app doesn't have a legend. Oct 20, 2015 at 19:20
