[mapguide-users] Storing WebLayout in Session Repository

[Hidekazu Shimaji]

Hello,

I don't think the ResourceHeader is the cause.
You have to set the content of xmlWebLayout to byteArray.

How about do like this:

--- the code start
//save the xml to MemoryStream
System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
xmlWebLayout.Save(stream);
// get byte array from the MemoryStream
byte[] byteArray = stream.ToArray();
//convert byte array to string without the first byte(BOM)
string outerXml = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(byteArray, 1, byteArray.Length - 1);
// convert string to byte array with the utf-8 encoding 
byteArray = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(outerXml);

// store the WebLayout in Session-Repository
MgByteSource byteSource = new MgByteSource(byteArray,
   byteArray.Length);
byteSource.MimeType = MgMimeType.Xml;
MgResourceIdentifier userWebLayoutId = new
    MgResourceIdentifier("Session:" + sessionId + @"//Current." +
    MgResourceType.WebLayout);

resourceService.SetResource(userWebLayoutId, byteSource.GetReader(), null);
--- the code end

Do you have the MapGuide sample for .NET? 
It is downloadable from the MapGuide web site,
and the code "findaddressfunctions.aspx" has some good examples 
for using the SetResource function.
Try it!
