General Recommendations

Code that relied on the prior (index-based handles) MDL C Container API (mdlCntr); wrt: List, Map and Multimaps; where appropriate can upgrade code to use native C++ std library list and map functionality.
Code specific to the mdlRaster API use of mdlCntr should consider:

1. Upgrade code to use Raster C++ API classes and interfaces: DgnRaster*, Raster*, IRaster*
2. Update your code ensuring:
   • Include: ..\include\RasterCore\RasterCoreAPI.h (includes: both DgnRaster.h and RasterCollection.h)
   • Add the namespace macro USING_NAMESPACE_RASTER (or using namespace Bentley::DgnPlatform::Raster;) to your .cpp files
   • Link ..\library\RasterCore.lib in your .mke files
3. Upgrade mdlRaster API signatures accordingly to use:
   • mdlRaster_systemAllRasterContainerByModelGet  use DgnRasterVectorR
   • mdlRaster_fileFormat* use: RasterBlockTypeCollectionR, RasterColorModeCollectionR, RasterCompressionTypeCollectionR and RasterFileFormatCollectionR
