Dhirendra,

I said YOU should build two applications.  I haven't built anything  
like what you are attempting ... well, that's not quite true, but I'm  
not able to share code at this point.  There are examples for  
MapGuide that show how to do this kind of thing somewhere, and the  
documentation has some good examples too.
