Khaled -
 
You can combine ASP.NET and CGI pages and requests in a single
application, but you cannot have one page be processed by both the .NET
framework and the CGI processor.
 
You can, for example,. use the MapServer CGI with the "mode=map"
parameter to have it produce only the map image for a specified request.
Then your ASP.NET page can have an IMG tag on it with the SRC property
specified as the URL requesting the MapServer CGI image, as in:
 
<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=map&....">
 
Most of the introductory material for MapServer focuses on the
"mode=browse" operation, which is very helpful if you do not have
another server-side processing environment like .NET or PHP in use.  If
you do have such an environment, trying to both at the same time is
impossible and will confuse you.
