Hi Swetha,

there should be no problem at all after the description given by Jackie.
neways, what you can do is make a new solution or say a new ASP.NEt website
and place the folder in http(at the time of creating the solution---open
visual studio , click on file--click on new website---select asp.net website
from the templates available---select the location as http from the location
list box below left on the screen---give path like
"http://localhost/yourwebsitename"......)this will create your solution
directly in the local host...once this is complete...open the default.aspx
page and write the following code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="OSGeo.MapGuide" %>

<%    

MapGuideApi.MgInitializeWebTier(@"C:\ProgramFiles\MapGuideOpenSource\WebServerExtensions\www\webconfig.ini");
        MgUserInformation userInfo = new MgUserInformation("Anonymous", "");
        MgSite site = new MgSite();
        site.Open(userInfo);

        String   sessionId = site.CreateSession();
        String  webLayout = "Library://......ur path";

%>

<frameset rows="0,*" border="0" framespacing="0">
  <frame />
  <frame src="/mapguide/mapviewernet/ajaxviewer.aspx?SESSION=<%= sessionId
%>&WEBLAYOUT=<%= webLayout %>" name="ViewerFrame" />
</frameset>

</html>
