        //    .Where(kvp => kvp.Key is BasicFeatureLayer)

        ////Flash the collection of features.
        //mapView.FlashFeature(selectedFeatures);
    
        var selectedFeatures = mapView.Map.GetSelection();

          //Get all the features that intersect the sketch geometry and flash them in the view. 
          var results = mapView.GetFeatures(geometry);
          mapView.FlashFeature(results);
    
          var debug = String.Join("\n", results.ToDictionary()
                        .Select(kvp => String.Format("{0}: {1}", kvp.Key.Name, kvp.Value.Count())));
