[mapguide-users] Mapguide Maestro and OGR FDO provider

[Jamo181]

Howdy I'm new to mapguide and have seen the example web sites and I'm very
interested in trying it with some of my own data, currently our spatial data
comes from microstation. I have been looking around and found that through
FDO I can directly display microstation DGNs through mapguide as feature
source.

this is where i'm stuck I recognise it's possible but have no idea on how to
implement....

1. I've grabbed the FDO2FDO application modified the providers.xml and added

        <FeatureProvider>
            <Name>OSGeo.OGR.0.1</Name> 
            <DisplayName>FDO Provider for OGR</DisplayName> 
            <Description>Access to OGR data sources</Description> 
            <IsManaged>False</IsManaged> 
            <Version>0.1.0.0</Version> 
            <FeatureDataObjectsVersion>3.2.0.0</FeatureDataObjectsVersion> 
            <LibraryPath>OGRProvider.dll</LibraryPath> 
       </FeatureProvider>

however when I select OGR as the connection the programs bombs out :(


2. Mapguide maestro :) very good program , I understand I can add this
provider to it directly ? any idea on how it can be done?

I notice it has a providermap.xml, how would I add another provider here?

3. the set up here runs a database parallel to our graphics data, currently
as SQL server, we link this data to the graphics in microstation and I'm
able to build querys to link multiple tables together to show data from
different sources that are relevant to the particular graphic, any tutorials
on how to add this as extra values in mapguide maestro?

Please advise if more information is required... I'm a little unsure on what
I'm doing at the moment.
