to generate a C#/VB.NET serializable codebase out of XSD? I have been

feedback. You are very right in that dual development streams would
be a bad thing and a waste of a lot of time. What I was hoping
to accomplish with that XSD codegen was to create a set of relatively
light weight objects to roundtrip the xml. Eliminate the use of XML
tools for working with the mapguide entities, then return the entities
back to XML for use with the Mapguide API. I was not
planning a full API project. Again, you are right in that there is
still some messing around needed to be done with the linq code – I had
problems with nulls just as you mentioned =)<O:P></O:P></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>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

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

[mapguide-users] .NET Objects for working with Mapguide
Resources</SPAN><O:P></O:P></P>
<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. <O:P></O:P></P>
