# WMS Layer (URL)
Display a WMS Layer from an online URL.

![WMS Layer URL App](wms-layer-url.png)

## How to use the sample
Simply run the app.

## How it works
A `WmsLayer` is constructed by setting the URL and layerNames parameters. The URL must be the URL to the "GetCapabilities" endpoint of the WMS Service. Alternatively, the layer could be constructed by setting the layerInfos parameter.

NOTE: The Web Map Service (WMS) in this sample is managed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). ESRI, has no control over service uptime.
