You can save to either repository, depending on what resourceIdentifier
you give.<br>
The class ResourceIdentifier can help you construct/manipulate a
ResourceIdentifier,<br>
if you find it annoying to work with strings.<br>
<br>
As for the "live map", you will likely need to be aware of the
difference between<br>
the Runtime Map and the MapDefinition, as stated on the developer docs
page <br>
under Maestro.<br>

<pre wrap="">Thats works great.
I had written a web app which allows a user to completely customise the
appearances of layers. Behind the scenes it just edits the xml but I suspect
the MaestroAPI could do this all for me without me touching the xml. I need
to look into it more as I need to be able to save to both session and
library and always show the updates on a live map however the MaestroAPI
looks ideal.
The help chm file, I can download fine but when I do, any links I try and
open just come up with 'The address is not valid'. However turns out this is
an intended security feature of IE. Basically to fix it all you have to do
is right click on the chm file, go to properties and then click Unblock and
it works. (Just in case anyone else has had the same issue)
Thanks for all your help!

I just tried to download MaestroAPI.chm, and the link works for me:

<pre wrap="">I tried your example and I always get an error of:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
when I do:
fs.Parameter["DefaultFilePath"] = "C:\my.shp";
or other similar attempts for other providers. If I take this line out it
creates the resource no problem. Do you know why this would happen?
Also I tried to download the help (MaestroAPI.chm) off the website but
none
of the help links work. Have I done something daft?
Any help is appreciated.

<pre wrap="">Yes, you can do just that.
Look in the Maestro source code to see how it's done.
The files "ResourceEditors/ResourceEditorBase.cs" and
"ResourceEditors/ResourceEditorGeneric.cs" shows it.
Some more customized versions are avalible in eg
"FeatureSourceEditorSDF.cs"
Basically you can do:
MaestroAPI.ServerConnectionI con; //You must initialize this, see
the developer docs
MaestroAPI.FeatureSource fs = new MaestroAPI.FeatureSource();
fs.Provider = "OSGeo.SHP.3.1";
fs.Parameter["DefaultFilePath"] = "C:\my.shp";
con.SaveResourceAs(fs, new MaestroAPI.ResourceIdentifier("my fs",
OSGeo.MapGuide.MaestroAPI.ResourceTypes.FeatureSource));
As for your actual problem, does the server error log show anything?
C:\program files\Mapguideopensource2.0\server\logs\error.log

<pre wrap="">Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that did not solve my problem and I
got
the same error. Is there anything else I could try?
I was not aware you could do this without generating/manipulating the
xml.
My web tool has to fully control setting up data sources. So the user
selects a provider and then fills in the connection details. I then
need
to
create a new data source from this to be stored in mapguide. Can you do
this
using the Meastro API alone?

<pre wrap="">I believe the problem is the .Net UTF-8 Encoder prefixes an UTF-8 BOM,
which causes problems in the Xml parser:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/233">http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/233</a>
You can try to create the UTF-8 encoder with:
UTF8Encoding utf8 = new UTF8Encoding(false);
And see if the problem goes away.
Alternatively you can use the MaestroAPI instead of messing with the
raw
Xml:
