[mapguide-users] MgByteReader and XmlSerializer question

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

The .Net wrapper that is built from the MapGuide OS is very simple and 
only passes messages onto
the native Dll files. This means that a wrapper can use either 
Enterprise or Open Source, depending on what
native Dll's are present.

This means that you may use a custom Open Source wrapper for the 
Enterprise API.

If you want to be restrictive, there are user administration avalible 
within the MapGuide Server.
