<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Thanks for the response. I think I’m
doing everything you suggested correctly, but have provided the snippets
below. When the page loads the ConnectToMapGuide() method gets called,
which opens up the MgMap and sets it to a module level variable (map).
Then, Button1 is clicked which successfully adds two layers to the map. When
Button2 gets invoked, I try to remove the layers but the layers still persist
in the map. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I’m not sure where to go from
here. Do you need to copy the layers in session, then add them from there
in order to have the ability to remove them? Just reaching…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I haven’t got any
feedback yet, but I have been trying desperately to make this work. To
recap, I’m finding that adding a layer to a map at runtime with
MgLayerCollection.Add works fine. However, when I try to remove layer(s)
with MgLayerCollection.Clear, MgLayerCollection.Remove, or
MgLayerCollection.RemoveAt the layer(s) are indeed removed from the collection-
but <i><span style='font-style:italic'>not the map</span></i>. I am
saving the map and refreshing the map after removal. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>So why does inserting a
layer into the MgMapCollection work, but removing not? Looking at the
developers guide on page 56 there is a note for getting a layer collection from
the map (MgMap.GetLayers): <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

that adding a layer to the collection automatically updates the map, this
doesn’t apply for removing a layer. I can’t figure out what I
need to do to mimic what the api does for you when inserting a layer when
