Not necessarily. You could also build up a map object from scratch and not
save it in the filesystem if not required. You could also not save the map
image just draw the contents of the imageObj and read the contents directly
into a GDI+ bitmap.

I've already used Mapserver's C# libraries to create various .NET desktop
applications and it worked pretty well. You might however create an example
just to make sure about all the aspects before making the final decision.
I'm not sure about  SharpMap, isn't that a pure ASP.NET project?
