<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I have tried using Npgsql and mapscript_csharp and
I can successfully connect to the database, but now I suppose I need .map files
saved locally to get things working? </font></div>

You could also not save the map image just draw the contents of the imageObj and read the contents directly into a GDI+ bitmap. <br>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Actually I am in the middle of choosing whether it
is better to use SharpMap or Mapserver's C# libraries for building a desktop
app? What are your (and everybody's else's) recommendations and suggestions
about it?</font></div></div></blockquote><div><br>I've already used <font size="2" face="Arial">Mapserver's C# libraries to create various .NET desktop applications and it worked pretty well. You might however create an example just to make sure about all the aspects before making the final decision.<br>
I'm not sure about </font><font size="2" face="Arial">SharpMap, isn't that a pure <a href="http://ASP.NET">ASP.NET</a> project?<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Tamas </font><br></div></div><br>
