New artifact details:
---------------------------------------------------------

- Description set to new value
  Enhance IMake and SWIG generation to support .Net IList<T> semantics for most of the MgCollection derived objects within MapGuide.

This submission allows the .Net [] operator and foreach to be used on MapGuide collections.

A NUnit test has been added to verify most of the new functionality under MgDev/UnitTest/Common/DotNetWrappers.

  P3
- Artifact created
- Developer Notes set to new value
  This submission has minimal impact on existing code.  Most code will continue to function as is.  There has been a small return type semantic change with the collections Add and Remove methods.

All of the additional code is in the .Net SWIG wrappers so there are no other changes to existing public API.

PHP and Java and unaffected except for the semantic change mentioned above.

- Justification set to new value
  This makes the OSGeo.MapGuide API easier to use in .Net.  Many long time .Net developers dislike the MapGuide collection because they are non-standard.
- Summary set to new value
  Enhance .Net API mapping to support .Net IList<T> semantics
