[mapguide-users] how to create an mgp file?

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

The only approach I can think of, is to study one of the existing demo 
packages.
Study the Xml to see how it is constructed, and create a copy.

You will likely want to use MapGuide Studio from Autodesk at some point.
Alternatively, if your only objective is to upload an SDF file, you can 
try out my MapStudio project (which is very alpha at the moment).
Third option for access to SDF, is to get a FeatureSource xml file, and 
modify the file path.
You can read/write the FeatureSource Xml from either the API or 
http://localhost/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi
