Hi Fabrizio,<br><br>Maintaining a "hand-made" interface may be painful vs. an autogenerated one (like csharp), though it may work (like the php mapscript for example) when having a fair amout of the community members to keep it up to date. Do you think you would have enough interest to take the maintainer's role if that was "officially" added in MapServer?<br>
<br>Have you already been trying to use the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tzat5yw6%28v=VS.80%29.aspx">regasm tool</a> to register the csharp bindings as a COM callable wrapper which could surely be called from Delphi as well? This seems to be a more straightforward option, though I don't have any experiences in this topic.<br>
<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Tamas<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/8/9 Fabrizio Vita <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fabrizio.vita@inwind.it">fabrizio.vita@inwind.it</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<div bgcolor="white" link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="IT"><div><p><span lang="EN-US">Hello everybody,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US">I would like to inform anyone interested that I’m writing a MapScript wrapper for use with Delphi, based on MapScript.dll (C# version). At the moment, I have referenced about 800 functions exported by the dll of 1200 total, and created corresponding Delphi VCL classes, but I think that I can complete this work in another couple of days. I already started creating some web server (= CGI developed with Delphi XE + MapScript) based on this, in alternative to the <a href="http://ASP.NET" target="_blank">ASP.NET</a> + MapScript code that I found on internet, and it works smoothly. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Now, do you think that this work can be interesting for the community? Are there any chances to have a revenue for this work? If yes, what is the way you can suggest to release it (Open source, commercial, etc)? <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">For anyone interested, I can provide a test application.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US">Thanks!<u></u><u></u></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><font color="#888888"><p>
