[mapserver-users] Type initializer exception with C# MapScript - Step 2

[Daniel Walton]

More pre-apologies for the 101 type questions I'm asking here. Thanks for
the replies. You were all right, I just had to check all the dll
dependencies and copy those into my bin folder (32 dlls in all). Now I am
one inch further down the road. I can create the mapfile (text shown below),
but how to I get from mapfile to hosted WMS? I will break down the question
into the parts I can see so far (please add or subtract if I'm off):

   1. Do I need to create the mapfile in a specific folder for MapServer to
   'see' it?
   2. Are there any other configuration files that need to be created or
   edited for MapServer to expose my map via WMS?
   3. Can the files in (2) be created/edited via MapScript?
   4. What would be the base URL of the WMS once it's running?

Thanks again for your patience in holding my hand for these baby steps!
