Thanks Traian,

It's very useful for me. It's a pity that this things are not 
documented. I've build WebTier.sln, it generates the following dll's:

ACE.dll
MapguideDotNetApi.dll
MapguideJavaApi.dll
MapguideUnmanagedApi.dll
MgCommon.dll
MgCoordinateSystem.dll
MgHttpHandler.dll
MgMdfModel.dll
MgMdfParser.dll
MgWebApp.dll
PhpMapguideApi.dll
Proj.dll
xerces-c_2_7.dll

Ok, then I create one simple c# windows form application and add a 
reference to /release/MapGuideDotNetApi.dll. Well, I have the DotNetApi 
reference, the question is how can I connect via TCP/IP with the server 
that runs mapguide? What are the necessary steps?

Thanks.
