You can always do a unmanaged shp file connection then drop shp files in to this directory. From there you have to create layers and map additions programmatically using the mapguide api in whatever web language you choose. I have heard of some spped issues with unmanaged shps but it may be fixed now.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm starting to get my head around the way MapGuide works, and it seems that<br>
any maps I want to display have to live in a loaded Package - is that<br>
correct?<br>
<br>
I want to enable my application to accept Shapefiles uploaded by its users<br>
and display them. I can't find any information on loading Shapefiles<br>
directly into the MapGuide API, so is there a way to dynamically create<br>
Packages and load the Shapefiles into them?<br>
<br>
I'm not after a solution, just a point in the right direction.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Anthony<br>
