[mapguide-users] help drawing on map use Mapguide 1.2 api

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

The easy way of doing this, would be to create a featuresource that 
points to the database.
If the database has x,y columns, that would enable this without programming.
You can style the points (size, symbol, color, theme etc) in a layer.


If you want to do something more advanced, you must create a temporary 
featuresource, and insert your data into this temporary source.
Then you can create/re-use a layer to display this data.
There is C# code for this in the buffer sample, in the viewer folder of 
the installation.
You can get the developer guide and API help files from the program 
shortcut that was installed when you installed MapGuide (assuming you 
did no de-select the documentation).

> Hello I am new to mapguide.  I am using Mapguide 1.2 and IIS/Dot.  I am writing a function that will be used by my website (in CS) to grab coordinates of sites from a database.  Then using the Mapguide API I will plot on the map those sites. Can you direct me to where I can get Mapguide API help.  I already have the Mapguide API documentation but I need a little help getting to the right function to do the job.  Does Mapguide have a function like drawCircle(location, layer).
