Title: Autodesk® MapGuide® MapAgent: The Secret Renderer
Instructor: Jeremy Robson
Course Description: Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise (and Autodesk MapGuide Open Source) is typically used as an off-the-shelf product which can then be configured with tools such as Autodesk MapGuide Studio and Autodesk MapGuide Maestro. However, Autodesk MapGuide is itself a treasure trove of smaller components that can be used within much larger solutions. One of these components is the MapAgent. Using a basic HTTP call, a request can be made to the MapAgent to return a fully rendered map image (as you see in the Autodesk MapGuide AJAX client). This class will explore how to use this technique for the implementation of a number of solutions, including a fully configurable, high resolution printing solution for Autodesk MapGuide; and for streaming of data from Autodesk MapGuide directly into AutoCAD®; and a lightweight Microsoft® Silverlight® client.
