[mapguide-users] InitializeWebTier

[Jackie Ng]

InitializeWebTier() is defined in the utilityfunctions.aspx that you omitted
from inclusion.

The reason you are getting errors in are probably because of:

- You are using frames (evil, but unavoidable since that's how the AJAX
viewer was designed). Visual Studio has no designer support for
frames/framesets and can throw false errors, and most of the time these are
non-fatal validation errors becuase you are validating a frameset document
with a non-frameset doctype.

- You are probably running your asp.net application with Visual Studio's
built in webserver (Cassini), this will NOT WORK because it requires access
to the mapviewernet and mapagent directories that Cassini does not and will
not know about. You must configure your project to launch in IIS.

- All the sample code is inline like classic asp, which goes against the
common asp.net code-behind model, making it hard to "copy and paste" to your
asp.net projects.

- The dotnetviewersample was done with the expectation that it is to be
deployed in the www folder of your MGOS installation (because it is
hardcoded to look for webconfig.ini in that folder). If you have copied the
dotnetviewersample, file-by-file, line-by-line it will probably fail if it
is not inside the www folder.

So my recommendation is:

- Put your code in a folder inside MapGuide's www directory.
- Put that include utilityfunctions.aspx line back in.
- Ignore any non-compliation errors Visual Studio throws at you.

Hope that helps.
