[mapguide-users] RE: RE: Exporting as XML

[Ben Trumbore]

I guess I wasn't clear in my previous email.  The sample in the dev
guide is a program that creates an object model for a layer.  It is OK
to assign strings like the filter in question in a program.  When that
object model is serialized to XML, the offending characters are escaped.
You can see the result of this in the XML you quoted in your most recent
message (included below).  When you are directly editing a layer's XML,
you must escape the five "bad" characters yourself.

Yes, I still get this error. However, there is a complete sample in the
new

dev guide documentation that appears to work, so i will examine that. It
has

the literal > in 'YRBUILT > 1950'.
