Hi

Thanks for your reply. I have looked at csharp mapscript and have the map
server already up and running but just need help with defining a .map file
using the shape files that can be used with the mapsever.  basically
something like shown below. So that my maps look professional.

Thanks

Khalid


MAP
	NAME 'mn_county'
	SIZE 800 650
	STATUS ON
	EXTENT  427632.500000 4893613.330000 560300.922104 5015936.680000
	UNITS METERS
	FONTSET '../fonts/fontset.list'
	SYMBOLSET '../symbols/symbol.sym'
	TRANSPARENT TRUE
	IMAGETYPE PNG

	QUERYMAP
		STATUS ON
		STYLE SELECTED
	END

.......

END ## end Map
