<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=453285918-10042006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>For a raster resource, there will (unfortunately) be an
extra step of indirection from what I posted originally for SHP and SDF files.
Most of the feature information for a raster is stored in a separate XML file
which the feature source points to. Basically the feature source looks like
this:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=453285918-10042006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Note how it points to config.xml -- this file is also
stored as a resource associated with the raster feature source, so you need to
call the GetResourceData operation with config.xml as argument. config.xml
contains the location of the directory where the raster is and then lists
the raster you actually want to include in this feature source. So you can edit
it similar to what I suggested for SHP and SDF and save it back to the
repository using SetResourceData.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>I've been playing with the raster provider this morning and
am happy to report that two quick tests worked fine and performance seems to be
very good. I loaded up a 10 MB ECW and a 250 MB MrSID. The
flexibility of transparent shaded polygon fills really shows over raster, it's
very nice. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=828341718-10042006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>My only complaint is the managed data structure of the
repository. I had to load my MrSID which already resides somewhere else on
that same drive and is accessed by other apps (like an older MapGuide 6.5
app). Now I have redundant data. Are there any plans to allow
"connections" to raster data stored in other physical locations? I have
some clients that have many gigabytes of imagery used in their existing MapGuide
applications and I see having to load the data as a potential
problem.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
