That is a smart way to convert Xsd to classes. Is it possible to
extract the generated code and use it without LinQ for .Net 2.0?<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what you mean by "wanted to stay closer to the core API".
Your generated classes expose the MapGuide Xml as .Net classes.<br>
You can then use .Net objects "directly" instead of handling Xml. That
is exactly what the MaestroAPI does.<br>
<br>
I have implemented a connection interface that enables you to
communicate with MapGuide either via the MapGuide API, or through Http.<br>
If you use the LocalNativeConnection exclusively, MaestroAPI is doing
the exact same thing your code does.<br>
<br>
If you (or someone else) has questions about MaestroAPI usage, please
ask away.<br>
If you (or someone else) find missing functionality, or has
improvements for MaestroAPI, let me know.<br>
I have a short introduction to MaestroAPI usage here:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://code.google.com/p/mapstudioos/wiki/HowToUseMapGuideAPI">http://code.google.com/p/mapstudioos/wiki/HowToUseMapGuideAPI</a><br>
(The site is being migrated to here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/maestro">http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/maestro</a>)<br>
<br>
I like your code, and if you are up for it, I think we both could
benefit from one great API extension, rather than two good ones.<br>
I have learned that after you have the serialization in place there are
many places where you must handle trivial stuff like <br>
converting null string to empty string, empty collections to null
collections, etc. MaestroAPI handles much of this already,<br>
and I would be sad to see you spend your time implementing that for
another project.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi List,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve written two posts I thought I would share
with
you on the topic of .NET based MG dev. The first describes a method
I’ve worked out to create relatively robust .NET based objects based on
the Xml Schema Definitions provided with the server. Please
note, I currently am only working with MGE 2009. I have not tried this
code on MGOS. If you do try them on MGOS, please let me know what
results
have.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In a nutshell, one can get the resource XML from
the resource
service, load it into the object with the provided .parse method,
manipulate
the object (without having to use xml) e.g. add child objects, change
properties etc, and finally spit it back out to XML for saving back to
the
repository. Yay no longer need to be jealous of the PHP guys and their
object factories =D<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second is a dynamic authoring example using
these
objects, manipulating the MapDefinition before the viewer has loaded it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Both come with full source code, and Visual
Studio 2008
projects. I hope they are helpful to the other .NET devs out there.
