[mapguide-users] Get Identity Properties

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

In case you are wondering what all those numbers are, they are defined in
OSGeo.MapGuide.MgPropertyType.?

The MaestroAPI has a function for mapping between .Net and MG types
http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/trunk/Tools/Maestro/MaestroAPI/Utility.cs
(Linenumbers are missing?, but its on line 389)
