[mapguide-users] Newbie needs help with project to query web layouts

[Nick Aizen]

Can anyone help me with this process, I'm new to both web development and MapGuide API development, so please excuse me if I don't ask my question the correct way but basically....
I want to be able to load a weblayout (created in MG Studio),  when my asp.net page loads and query and zoom on the map in the weblayout before the page is fully displayed. Basically I will be calling the asp.net page from an application passing it parameters for the query functionality.

 I would appreciate it if someone can provide a code snippet. I'm using as my base, one of the examples provided on the Autodesk web site. I can provide any information regarding the project being used if that will help. Also, other than the PDF's provided my Autodesk are there any helpful resources for developers?

Here's the code when the page loads that loads a weblayout:
  MgUserInformation userInfo = new MgUserInformation("Administrator", "admin");
    MgSite site = new MgSite();
    site.Open(userInfo);

    String sessionId = site.CreateSession();
    String webLayout = "Library://DevTV/HelloWorld.WebLayout";


'Need help with API to query and zoom'



Then the layout is passed to the viewer.

<frameset rows="0,*" border="0" framespacing="0">
  <frame />
  <frame src="/mapguide2008/mapviewernet/ajaxviewer.aspx?SESSION=<%= sessionId %>&WEBLAYOUT=<%= webLayout %>" name="ViewerFrame" />
</frameset>


Many Thanks,

Nick Aizen
