color=#0000ff size=2>If you look at the dwfviewersample.aspx (inserted
below) file in the C:\Program
Files\MapGuideOpenSource\WebServerExtensions\www\dotnetviewersample folder, you
will see that it is the ASP.NET equivalent (or close) to what Bob posted in
PHP. Not all ASP.NET programmers like to use Visual Studio and create the
overhead of a project when all of the extraneous files are often not
needed. I prefer to have complete control over what is being
written rather than letting a GUI do it all for me. I know it may
be a little unusual and inefficient, but I do all of my ASP.NET
development in Dreamweaver and write .NET purely in the raw form. I
do everything code-behind, if possible, and I compile with the command
line. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Is this the right way to do things? Maybe. Is
your way the right way to do things? Maybe. The point is, there is
more than one way to achieve the same goal and different people have different
preferences and what is totally logical to one person, may be illogical to the
next.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>You should be able to take the .NET sample application and
modify it for your own use. It's very easy to translate it to
code-behind. You can also create your application in whatever
folder you want with no (physical) dependency on the rest of the MGOS
web-tier. The way the example application works is that the various
functions are called through the out-of-the-box task pane, maybe that's why it
looks like everything is so disjointed to you? </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

applications don’t 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>
