Re: [mapguide-users] XML Parser error for Feature Sources
Thats works great. I had written a web app which allows a user to completely customise the appearances of layers. Behind the scenes it just edits the xml but I suspect the MaestroAPI could do this all for me without me touching the xml. I need to look into it more as I need to be able to save to both session and library and always show the updates on a live map however the MaestroAPI looks ideal. The help chm file, I can download fine but when I do, any links I try and open just come up with 'The address is not valid'. However turns out this is an intended security feature of IE. Basically to fix it all you have to do is right click on the chm file, go to properties and then click Unblock and it works. (Just in case anyone else has had the same issue) Thanks for all your help!
