[mapserver-users] Unable to access Grid Object (GridObject) via C# MapScript interface (related to bug 1980)

[Hulbert, Brian]

I was using 4.10.1 [per a call to mapscript.msGetVersion()].

I now switched to 5.0.2 (once I got the complete list of DLLs) and it does
in fact have the updateFromString() method.  Can you point to a document
which talks about the syntax to use in the string to supply?  Specifically,
I will be trying to change the LABELFORMAT of the grid object within my grid
layer.

Tx,

Brian

Brian,

Which version are you using? I guess the mapserver 5.0 should contain
this option. Here's the related change, which is pretty old.

Best regards,
