[mapguide-users] Mapguide beta 2.4: quick plot on a basic layout from .net app does not work

Thu Apr 12 04:59:09 EDT 2012

Hi list,

I've just downloaded Mapguide 2.4 beta and tried to compile a very simple
.Net c# application. 
My target is to use the great new feature "QuickPlot" on my basic layout
(this layout type is a must for me, I have an application based on this).
But I have problems on using QuickPLot from a .Net app.

You can see attached the code for the very simple single class Default.aspx.
I've created an IIS "Application folder"
http:\\localhost\mapguide\MapGuideSample and I execute my app from there.

My problem is that:
- if I preview from Maestro my web layout
(Library://TBDemoMesoccoCan/BasicLayout.it.WebLayout) I can use QuickPlot.
- but if I execute this simple app on the same web layout QuickPlot is not
responsive; I can open the dialog, but it does nothing. I can't see the
rectangle on the map and if I press "Generate" button, nothing happens. No
errors are displayed.

Thanks in advance for any help...
