[mapguide-internals] Intergrating DWF Viewer of MapGuideEnterprise 2009 into Windows Forms

[Maksim Sestic]

Hi folks,

This is something I have to agree with. My company also runs few
large-volume apps still leaning on MapGuide 6.5  due to it's speed and
reliability. Corporate networks in general are closed, supervised
environments. It's much bigger chances that AJAX viewer won't work there
because of no-script policy, while signed ActiveX controls (i.e. DWF viewer)
pose no threat. Once again - it's all about speed (hundreds of layers,
terabytes of static maps) and reliability (MG server crashing may cost us
considerable amounts of money).

Regards,
Maksim Sestic

We at the company I work for have considered the possibility of embedding a
browser in the future to use the AJAX viewer. At the moment the system we
are developing uses the DWF viewer due to performance. If you use the AJAX
viewer with something like the Sheboygan example which is just a few layers
and fairly simple then the performance is quite acceptable. For the system
we are using which has many layers and much larger volumes of data the AJAX
viewer becomes so slow it is practically unusable. AutoDesk are saying the
issues with the AJAX viewer are being worked on and hope to make it faster.
AutoDesk are solidly pushing the AJAX viewer. To compound this they are also
planning to stop supporting the DWF viewer. For all it's problems the DWF
Viewer is much much faster for large volumes of data than the AJAX viewer.
