.NET Basic Example Issues (Hello World?)

[Rock Beans]

I create a session then use session to create site connection. I then
have issues with map.open(). I tried map name "Sheboygan" and I tried
using a resource indentifier. What am I doing wrong?

MapGuideApi.MgInitializeWebTier("C:\\Program Files
(x86)\\OSGeo\\MapGuide\\Web\\www\\webconfig.ini");
MgUserInformation userInfo = new MgUserInformation("Anonymous", "");
MgSite site = new MgSite();
site.Open(userInfo);
String mgSessionId = site.CreateSession();


MgUserInformation userInfoSession = new MgUserInformation(mgSessionId);
MgSiteConnection siteConnection = new MgSiteConnection();
siteConnection.Open(userInfoSession);


//MgResourceIdentifier resourceId = new
MgResourceIdentifier("Library://Samples/Sheboygan/Maps/Sheboygan.MapDefinition");


//create resource services
MgResourceService resourceSrvc =
(MgResourceService)siteConnection.CreateService(MgServiceType.ResourceService);


MgResourceIdentifier resourceId = new
MgResourceIdentifier("Library://Samples/Sheboygan/Maps/Sheboygan.MapDefinition");

MgMap map = new MgMap();
map.Create(resourceId, mapName);
map.Open(resourceSrvc, mapName)y

That is an odd issue.

What happens is that you create a runtime map (MgMap.Create).
Internally that means that the MapDefinition xml is converted to a
binary format, known as a "runtime map".

For some reason, you cannot pass the resource id for the runtime map to
the MgMap.Open or MgMap.Create call,
but must pass the map name. The method overload you are calling is not
documented (afaik).

Instead, try calling:
map.Create(resourceSrvc, resourceId, "Sheboygan");

The calls are documented here:
http://mapguide.osgeo.net/files/mapguide/docs/webapi/da/df8/class_mg_map_ef5b2026a831d04c93a60b7ba2460082.html
http://mapguide.osgeo.net/files/mapguide/docs/webapi/da/df8/class_mg_map_50515a38c44c727f7caa214138cd075b.html#50515a38c44c727f7caa214138cd075b

Be aware that the MapGuide viewer will not use a pre-created runtime
map, but always create (and overwrite) a runtime map.
