[mapguide-users] Runtime map problem

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

I forgot to save the weblayout in the code below :(

Updated version is:

'Setup connection
Dim host As New Uri("http://localhost/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi")
Dim conn As New HttpServerConnection(host, "Administrator", "admin", 
"en", True)

'You have to change the string below to point at a valid WebLayout
Dim weblayout as WebLayout = 
con.GetWebLayout("Library://mylayout.WebLayout")
Dim mapdefinition as MapDefinition = 
con.GetMapDefinition(weblayout.Map.ResourceId)

'Modify the initial view of the weblayout
weblayout.Map.InitialView = new MapViewType()
weblayout.Map.InitialView.Scale = 2000 'Zoom to 1:2000
weblayout.Map.InitialView.CenterX = (mapdefinition.Extents.MaxX - 
mapdefinition.Extents.MinX) + mapdefinition.Extents.MinX
weblayout.Map.InitialView.CenterY = (mapdefinition.Extents.MaxY - 
mapdefinition.Extents.MinX) + mapdefinition.Extents.MinY

'Obtain a unique session based id for the temporary weblayout (which is 
a copy of an existing WebLayout)
Dim tempid as ResourceIdentifier = new 
ResourceIdentifier(Guid.NewGuid(), 
OSGeo.MapGuide.MaestroAPI.ResourceTypes.WebLayout, con.SessionID)

'Save the layout, otherwise you can't reference it
con.SaveResourceAs(weblayout, tempid)

'Open the viewer, and use the temporary layout, since the map only 
exists in the
'current session, we must use that session, and NOT supply username/password
'BEWARE: The session belongs to the Administrator account, so the user 
gets full access to MapGuide (delete, modify, etc.)
Response.Redirect("/mapguide/ajaxviewer/?WEBLAYOUT=" & 
Server.UrlEncode(tempid) & "&SESSION=" & Server.UrlEncode(con.SessionID))
