ProjectOpened Event

[odiezgz]

I am developing a plugin (for mapwindow v5.1.1.207023) that serializes metadata associated to each of the layers created by my plugin during the execution. The problem is that when I load the saved project file again and during deserialization I capture the event "plugin.LayerAdded" but the layer has not yet restored its metadata values because the restore function is called after adding the layer:

private bool RestoreLayers(XmlProject project, out int selectedLayerHandle)
{
   ...
   foreach (var xmlLayer in project.Layers
   {
        ...
        if (_layerService.AddLayerIdentity(xmlLayer.Identity))     // Add layer and inside called LayerAdded event
        {   
               ...
               xmlLayer.RestoreLayer(layer, _broadcaster);     // Deserialize layer metada
}

Everything would be much easier if in "BasePlugin.cs" had a new event "ProjectOpened" just like there is one for "ProjectClosed", ...

        public event EventHandler<EventArgs> ProjectOpened
        {
            add { ProjectOpened_ += value; }
            remove { ProjectOpened_ -= value; }
        }

... triggered by the method "public bool Open (string filename, bool silent = true) "from the file" ProjectService.cs "when result is true:

public bool Open(string filename, bool silent = true)
{
...
       if (legacy)
       {
           result = OpenLegacyProject(filename);
       }
       else
       {
           result = OpenCore(filename, silent);
       }

       if (result) _broadcaster.BroadcastEvent(p => p.ProjectOpened, this, args);

I've created https://mapwindow.atlassian.net/browse/MW5CORE-206 for this. At the moment we're very busy getting a new version of MWGis out. After that (hopefully in a week) we'll work on a new version of MW5 and then we'll look at this issue.
