[mapguide-users] Creating and adding layers

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

Yes, it is possible.

You need a "runtime map" instance.

Short C# example:

MgResourceService srvc;
MgMap map = new MgMap();
map.Open(srvc, "mapname");
MgLayer layer = new MgLayer();
... set layer properties, such as .LayerDefinition path ...
map.Layers.Add(layer);
map.Save(srvc, "mapname");
