MapServer Tutorial for C# mapscript (ASP .NET)
Posted by Paolo Corti on September 20,2006
This tutorial will try to guide you step by step in implementing a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) web solution,based on Open Source software (MapServer),within the .NET Framework.
The tutorial is designed to work with Visual Studio 2003 and .NET 1.1,but you will easily be able to perform all the necessary steps to complete it using another version of Visual Studio (ie: Visual Studio 2005) or other IDEs (like Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition or even the notepad). It will work also using .NET 2 as c# mapscript is .NET 2 compatible.
The tutorial is focused to people with knowledge of C# (but can be easily implemented with .NET Visual Basic) and the .NET framework,and with some background in GIS. If you are new to GIS,a good place to start is here.
This tutorial could be easily adapted for other languages and frameworks rather than C# (or VB) and Microsoft .NET Framewok. In fact the Open Source component we are going to use (MapServer) is also available for PHP,Java and Python,and other languages.
The whole tutorial is downloadable at this address,where you can find the data (shapefiles) necessary to complete the tutorial (but you can easily adapt your data),and a complete working Visual Studio 2003 solution with this tutorial’s code.
You can take a look at a working online demo of this tutorial here.
As we will implement a C# ASP .NET Application,take care about this issue (that should be solved in the future): MapServer thread safety and about plans to solve this issue.

What is MapServer?
According to MapServer official site:
MapServer is an Open Source development environment for building spatially-enabled internet applications. MapServer is not a full-featured GIS system,nor does it aspire to be. Instead,MapServer excels at rendering spatial data (maps,images,and vector data) for the web.
MapServer was originally developed by the University of Minnesota (UMN) ForNet project in cooperation with NASA and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR). Presently,the MapServer project is hosted by the TerraSIP project,a NASA sponsored project between the UMN and consortium of land management interests.
The software is maintained by a growing number of developers (nearing 20) from around the world and is supported by a diverse group of organizations that fund enhancements and maintenance.
