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

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

        mapView.FlashFeature(selectedFeatures);
      });

    {
      public CustomIdentify()
      {
        IsSketchTool = true;
        SketchType = SketchGeometryType.Rectangle;
    
        //To perform a interactive selection or identify in 3D or 2D, sketch must be created in screen coordinates.
        SketchOutputMode = SketchOutputMode.Screen;
      }
    
      protected override Task<bool> OnSketchCompleteAsync(Geometry geometry)
      {
        return QueuedTask.Run(() =>
        {
          var mapView = MapView.Active;
          if (mapView == null)
            return true;
    
          //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())));
          System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(debug);
          return true;
        });
