[mapguide-users] Problems adding polygon to temporary layer

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

There are a copule of common reasons for that:
1. The layer in the map is not referencing the temporary featuresource, 
but the permanent
2. The layer is not visible in the map
3. The layer is out of scale range
4. The layer is below another visible layer

My guess is that you have hit #1.
When you create the temporary resource, you must also create a copy of 
the layer,
and update the layers featuresource to point at the temporary featuresource.

So, steps are:
1. Get layerdefinition
2. Update the resourceid of the featuresource to match the temporary 
featuresource
3. Save the updated layer definition
4. Change the runtime map to use the newly created temporary layer resource.

Hope that helps.
