will follow MGOS 1.2 Beta2 and MapGuide Ent 2008 if not fixed. It is good they

unmanaged feature sources all along and where I have seen the performance
problems. In the Trac ticket, it looks like you were referring to the old
manual way of doing it - but I believe they are essentially the same
thing. For more info on the newer functionality, see <a

have to also have Studio 2008 beta in order to see these new features
exposed. When you create a new Data Connection in Studio, you can now
choose the SHP or SDF providers and then configure that feature source to point
to a file or folder. The files or folders visible to choose from come
directly from external file aliases.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
