[mapguide-users] Getting FeatureSource className without Layer

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

I can see that you are looking for the "DescribeSchema" call:
http://mapguide.osgeo.org/files/mapguide/docs/webapi/d5/d10/class_mg_feature_service_8694a4d43db189a32c9b2ec3171e4ece.htm#8694a4d43db189a32c9b2ec3171e4ece

Beware that a resource can have multiple schemas and classes.
