[mapguide-users] Regarding Shape file

[sathishpsk9]

Hi kenneth ,
About Shape File loading a have a few more doubts....
1) Upload the file to the desired server folder
   which folder i have to use .... either Pakages folder or
Repositories/Library/DataFile or can i write any folder of my wish 
   I had wrote to D:\Library
2) Create a featuresource xml document (possibly from a template xml file)
3) Set the "filepath" or similar parameter to point to the SHP file that 
was uploaded
 i created features source and  set file path as shown below

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FeatureSource xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSource-1.0.0.xsd">
  <Provider>OSGeo.SHP</Provider>
  <Parameter>
    <Name>DefaultFileLocation</Name>
    <Value>D:\Library\india_st.shp</Value>
  </Parameter>
  <Parameter>
    <Name>TemporaryFileLocation</Name>
    <Value />
  </Parameter>
</FeatureSource>

4) Save the featuresource (likely in the session repo) 
 save it Library://satish/shape.FeatureSource

5) Create a layerdefinition xml document (possibly from a template xml file)
6) Point to the featuresource created in (4)
7) Update the geometry and class info for the featuresource

  created a layer definition and made it point to feature source as shown 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LayerDefinition xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="LayerDefinition-1.1.0.xsd" version="1.1.0">

        </AreaRule>
      </AreaTypeStyle>
    </VectorScaleRange>
  </VectorLayerDefinition>
</LayerDefinition>

8) Save the layerdefinition (likely in the session repo)
  save to Library repository 
  Library://satish/shapelayer.LayerDefinition

9) Add the layer to the runtime map
  added to run time map
 map.GetLayers().Insert(0, mylayer);-- used this method to add

10) Save the runtime map- saved map
11) Refresh the client- refreshed client using layer.ForceRefresh() method .
map not diplayed ..........

Did i followed the steps correctly or i al missing something ?
where does " %MG_DATA_FILE_PATH% "  this point to or indictes ?
Please help  me 


Thanking yoi in anticipation
