[mapguide-users] MgByteReader and XmlSerializer question

[Maksim Sestic]

Kenneth, I'm stuck with commercial version of MGE... So, basically, What I
See Is What I Get :-)

My intention was to build a small .NET wrapper to offer some neatly picked
functionality to 3rd party developers leaning on present MGE implementation.
I can't let them browse data repositories as they will since I need to keep
certain data "locked" on server side and actually never let the client
developer persist a full dataset copy with them. This .NET wrapper was
supposed to serve as an additional layer of protection between MGE API and
potential 3rd party APIs/implementations. But it's purpose is not
restrictive in nature, it would also enable MGE administrators create and
modify maps/layers/etc. apart from external solutions depending on it.

I'm currently working on exposing my .NET wrapper's methods to PHP users via
COM interop. Present PHP's function for direct connecting to .NET objects is
not working as expected. 

As you may already guessed what's it all about - it's a city GIS used by
dozens of both municipal and infrastructure departments regionwide.

Regards,
Maksim Sestic
