[mapguide-users] Simple .NET Function Hello World!

[Rock Beans]

That worked thanks! Here is a great exanple to help others that are
not using the viewer which must do this for you.



public string DoMapGuide()
{
	string mapName = "Sheboygan";
	string resourceLocation =
"Library://Samples/Sheboygan/Maps/Sheboygan.MapDefinition";
	string webConfig = "C:\\Program Files
(x86)\\OSGeo\\MapGuide\\Web\\www\\webconfig.ini";
	string userName = "Anonymous";
	string userPassword = "";
	

	MapGuideApi.MgInitializeWebTier(webConfig);
	MgUserInformation userInfo = new MgUserInformation(userName, userPassword);
	MgSite site = new MgSite();
	site.Open(userInfo);
	String mgSessionId = site.CreateSession();


	MgUserInformation userInfoSession = new MgUserInformation(mgSessionId);
	MgSiteConnection siteConnection = new MgSiteConnection();
	siteConnection.Open(userInfoSession);


	MgResourceIdentifier resourceId = new MgResourceIdentifier(resourceLocation);


	//create resource services
	MgResourceService resourceSrvc =
(MgResourceService)siteConnection.CreateService(MgServiceType.ResourceService);


	
	MgMap map = new MgMap();
	map.Create(resourceSrvc, resourceId, mapName);


	return mgSessionId;
}
