begin with C# MapScript

[Tamas Szekeres]

Hi,

Take a look at the sample applications eg. the drawmap sample in the
mapscript/csharp/examples directory.
For drawing the map without saving into a file see:

using(imageObj image = map.draw())
{
	byte[] img = image.getBytes();
	using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(img))
	{
		Image mapimage = Image.FromStream(ms);
		if (mapPicture.Image != null)
		{
			mapPicture.Image.Dispose();
			mapPicture.Image = null;
		}
		mapPicture.Image = mapimage;
	}
}

Regards,

Tamas
