...as you may have seen, the http://communities.bentley.com/products/geospatial/desktop/f/5924/p/54626/140030.aspx#140030 thread contains some example VB.NET code that reads the business properties from XFM feature instances using XFT, the XFM Feature Toolkit.

Hi. To be able to read XFM data and support all the features of an XFM schema you will need the XFM api which is only accesible when Bentley Map / PowerMap is loaded. You cannot read xfm data from within a pure Microstation session.

Adrian,

for simple browsing MDL APi is enough. XFM means in this case just a string linkage and a compressed xml fragmen, both readable with "pure" mdl api. But, afaik there is no "toolbox" , you'd have to create your "browse" function on your own.

Regards,

Holger
