Yeah, I posted a question on the Chamaleon site and it is for PHP Mapscript.

It also seems like the ka-Map Javascript API may also be an alternative for user-interface tools as well.

Hey Paolo, definately would be interested in seeing your Flash Viewer and/or a MapServer adaptation.

From an ESRI ArcIMS point of view-side, I would define Chamaleon for
MapServer something like Esri’s HTML viewer for ArcIMS. An
HTML/javascript software that can be easily customized for every
ArcIMS web site.
Chamaleon - I don’t know it, but I was taking a look at it at its
website, seems to be expressely designed for working with php
mapscript, but I believe It could be easily adapted for working with
.NET framework as far as the core is javasript client side code that
make request to the web server.
Maybe someone could be interested in making this migration.
Alternatively you could use a start from zero approach, but maybe
adapting Chamaleon would be more usefull also for other developers.
Another alternative is to use a Flash viewer, some months ago I
developed a Flash viewer for an ArcIMS site, I think I could easily
adapt it for MapServer, let me know if you think this can be usefull
and I will put it in my website.

Hello all,

This is great! I was able to get the tutorial working and posted on my remote IIS web server. Seems like the next steps are building a more user-friendly interface (e.g. a zoom tool that draws a rubberband). Does anyone know if I can use say, Chameleon with C# Mapscript? I believe these are user-interface tools. Just getting started and my general impression is that some of these technologies depend on if you are using cgi, C# MapScript, PHP MapScript, or Python MapScript.

Ning,
you just need iis to run c# mapscript.
It has nothing to do with apache. You would install apache if you intend to use the cgi-mapserver (but you could do this also from iis), without using the mapscript API (then you would need to develope a connector if you want to use cgi-mode with c#).

You could even use c# mapscript not in asp .net application, but for a console or windows application.

David
I tried to register an account at the MapServer site, but seems that “New accounts are currently closed, sorry for trouble”.
I will check in the next days if it will be solved this.

My asp.net app runs under iis but map server requires apache. Do I have to have both web servers on the same machine to run the site?

Paolo,

If you create a user account at the MapServer site, you should be able to create and submit a HowTo or Tutorial.

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/

I know that C# MapScript documentation is sparse, so it would be great if you would contribute your work to the MapServer site.

David.

Paolo,

Can you post all or some of this on the MapServer site?

Thanks,
