[mapguide-users] Trouble Adding Existing Layers Programmatically

[Kori Maleski]

You're not saving the map back to the Session.

 

Try something like this after you have added the layercollection:

 

 

 

 

                'Create Identifier for the Session Map

                Dim l_oSessionResourceIdentifier As New
MgResourceIdentifier("Session:" & Session & "//" & MapName & ".Map")

                'Save the Session Map

                l_oMap.Save(l_oResourceSrvc, l_oSessionResourceIdentifier)

I am overlooking saving the map back to the session repository, which sounds
like my problem.  I'll look into this.  Here's the code if you have any
other suggestions:

 

Dim webConfig As String = Request.ServerVariables("APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH") &
"webconfig.ini"

MapGuideApi.MgInitializeWebTier(webConfig)

GetRequestParameters() 'gets mapName and sessionID

 

Dim userInfo As New MgUserInformation(sessionId)

Dim siteConn As New MgSiteConnection

siteConn.Open(userInfo)

 

Dim resourceService As MgResourceService =
siteConn.CreateService(MgServiceType.ResourceService)

map.Open(resourceService, mapName)

 

Dim resId As New
MgResourceIdentifier("Library://VST_Prototype/Layers/SouthOmahaValves.LayerD
efinition")

Dim layerCollection As MgLayerCollection = map.GetLayers()

 

Dim lyr As New MgLayer(resId, resourceService)

layerCollection.Add(lyr)

 

lyr.SetVisible(True)

lyr.SetDisplayInLegend(True)

lyr.ForceRefresh()

Code might help with diagnosis.

 

You're saving the map back to the session repository after adding the layer,
right?

I have some layers that exist in my repository, but aren't added to the
published map with Studio.   Instead, I want end users to be able to add and
remove these layers from the repository at runtime.  I'm using the
MgLayerCollection.Add method to display layers, but they don't show up in
the map.  According to the developers guide, firing this method should
automatically add a layer to the map (p. 48).  The layers I'm trying to add
do get added to the collection, but don't display even after performing a
MgLayer.Visible=True and MgLayer.ForceRefresh.  I am also calling the Viewer
API to refresh: parent.mapFrame.Refresh(). 

Anyone have any suggestions or sample code?  

Regards,

Shane
