Andrea sent me some of the code to review ... and is is great! The previous WMSLayer was as andrea pointed out never going to work; it was rescued from some demo code last september but I could not sort it out.
Andrea's new thing provides a gridcoveragereader that goes off and makes the request ... in the same drawing thread. This is great as it does not require any mult-threading or events and is much simpler. Andrea can you just replace (please) the WMSLayer with your new code?
