[Mapserver-users] ASP, Java, mapscript and other fun stuff

[Arnulf Christl CCGIS]

Chiming in sideways - in our opinion WMS is always a good thing to do. All
you need to do is to set up the MAP file with a few extra parameters. Doc
can be found here:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/wms-server-howto.html

Then you can query any image by requesting it through the standard "getMap"
interface. Our client solution is implemented in PHP so that we cannot give
you anything useful, but it runs perfectly well with both a W2K Server and a
free BSD machine. Maybe another helping argument...

Cheers, Arnulf.

Another way to look at this problem, would be to ask how value would
this solution be? Is it valuable enough to fund the development of a
.NET integration, assuming we can find someone willing to do that.

Or I you read the archives and search for McNierney and ASP you will
find lots of good information on how to use Mapserver with ASP.

Or you can set up mapserver as a WMS server and if all you need is
images then you can get them by making appropriate WMS requests.
