[mapguide-users] External SHP file Refresh?

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

I actually ran into the same problem yesterday.
I have not tried to find the explanation, but it seems that some of the
data (Enumerate Schemas?) is cached.
The data prewiew shows correct results, but an updated file
does not show the correct columns in the layer editor.

The fix is to just open the FeatureSource and click the "Save" button.
Programatically this can be done with a GetResource() then SetResource() 
call sequence.

Regards, Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S
