[mapguide-users] how to create an mgp file?

[Parvatha]

I am unable to load my SDF data using web studio; So i am trying someother
way. If I can convert my data to mgp format then there is no need to load
the sdf i think. I need to load only the mgp using mapadmin. This will also
solve my problem. I have sdf but i dont know how to create xml files. So
that if I have xml and sdf then i can make mgp. This is what my problem.
