[mapguide-users] Create Featuresource

[Gunter Becker]

Thanks Kenneth,

which files do you mean with "create and manipulate such files".
Do you mean the FeatureSource xml document or the empty SHP- and SDF-Files.

Do I have to use all of the following libraries:  OSGeo.FDO.dll,
OSGeo.FDO.Common.dll and OSGeo.FDO.Geometry

Thanks, Gunter
