involve hard-coding stuff in HTML. .Net programmers are used to dragging
an object from the Toolbar onto a page, setting properties on the Property
Pages, maybe writing some code in VB or C# in the Page_Load method, and having
the application work. Once the app works in a rudimentary form, they may
add server-side event handling routines to add functionality. Almost as a
last resort and/or to improve performance, consideration is given to client
side code.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

But there must be a straight-forward way of getting a client up and running, be
it in .NET or whatever, like I am with MapServer. I second what you say.<br>

it be too much to ask for a simple .Net sample, say something where the code
was all in one place? The current ajaxviewersample and dwfviewersample
are really just shells that include code from other directories, then when you
look at them they include still more code. It is difficult to determine
what is really needed!<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

the form of .Net projects? If you really want .Net programmers to use
this put it in the form they are used to seeing, which is not something that
