should be able to see all the traffic between the client and Web Extensions /

hint after testing what you suggested. When the layers I’m trying
to remove are within the map view extent, they do not ‘disappear’
upon removing them. However, If the layers are completely outside the map
view extent they indeed get removed with the same code. It doesn’t
matter if it’s one layer or multiples. Hopefully this gives you
something to work with. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

haven’t got any feedback yet, but I have been trying desperately to make

MgLayerCollection.RemoveAt the layer(s) are indeed removed from the collection-
