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

[Parvatha]

I have created xml files as you told. But when i try to create unmanaged
feature source in web studio its not working. In sample folder sheboygan
data itself if i right click and say new feature source then i am able to
give some name and its getting saved but there the problem is i am unable to
load sdf. But here if i right click and say new unmanaged feature source its
asking for the name but its not getting saved even if i refresh also. If
that is getting saved then only i can assing xml file to that right? or am i
wrong? is there anyother way?
