[mapguide-users] Create Featuresource

[Jackie Ng]

FDO needs the VC++ runtime library. The OSGeo.FDO.*.dll files are .net
wrappers around the native libraries which use the VC++ runtime. Do not
uninstall it.

The fact that you have it working in a windows application means that you
have the runtime library installed. It also means that there is definitely
something to do with it being a web application, that's causing FDO to fail.
What that is, I do know at the moment.
