[mapguide-users] A simple .Net sample

[triplederby100-propos at yahoo.com]

... and not to mention the processing of template files and replacing string tokens with some real values at runtime :) Very crafty. But it appears that's what the "viewer" (as designed) is comprising of. 

But there must be a straight-forward way of getting a client up and running, be it in .NET or whatever, like I am with MapServer. I second what you say.

      <!--  /* Style Definitions */  p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal  {margin:0in;  margin-bottom:.0001pt;  font-size:12.0pt;  font-family:"Times New Roman";} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink  {color:blue;  text-decoration:underline;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed  {color:purple;  text-decoration:underline;} span.EmailStyle17  {mso-style-type:personal-compose;  font-family:Arial;  color:windowtext;} @page Section1  {size:8.5in 11.0in;  margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;} div.Section1  {page:Section1;} -->       Would it be too much to ask for a simple .Net sample, say something where the code was all in one place?  The current ajaxviewersample and dwfviewersample are really just shells that include code from other directories, then when you look at them they include still more code.  It is difficult to determine what is really needed!
   
  While I’m asking, why aren’t the .Net samples in the form of .Net projects?  If you really want .Net programmers to use this put it in the form they are used to seeing, which is not something that has to be put in a Program Files\  MapGuideOpenSource\  WebServerExtensions\  www directory!
   
  And of course these samples should have much of the initialization code in the code-behind module, not embedded in the html code.  
   
  Enough bitching, but it really looks like the .Net implementation is an afterthought!
