[mapguide-users] How can we make the changes stored in the map in programming methods ?

[Tsai Chih-Cheng]

Hi David :

Thank you for your quick reply, I have read your VB code but I have not try
it..
Actually, my job is to develop an application for user interacting with the
ajax viewer.
When user logined for authorization, he did something making the layer and
feature source changes, then the code save theses changes.

So, answer your question, I think my job isn't making changes without using
the viewer neither making the changes before the viewer loads.

But I am going to do my best to try your code today.
Appreciate for your support.
