problem Andy describes below when attempting to load a particular Shape file.
It turns out that our shp->sdf conversion code was failing to insert a
feature from the source shp file into the destination sdf file whenever the
geometry property of the source feature is NULL. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
am having a problem loading a particular Shape file onto the server. It
loads fine if I do not have Convert to SDF Feature Source checked.
However, due to the very poor performance I am seeing with Shape files, I am
finding it necessary to convert everything to SDF at load time. When I
try to execute this load procedure in Studio, I get an error message of:
"Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object".
I have tried closing Studio, restarting the MapGuide service, saving it as a
package, etc., but nothing helps. The error pops up almost immediately
after pressing the Load Resources button. This is a point shape
file of county ownership information. The DBF file is about 70 MB.
I can supply this Shape file to Autodesk if needed.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
