MG 6.5 had a nice static, dynamic option for each layer in which it cached the layer for offline use. Brad

The current implementation of the API uses a local tcp connection to connect to the server. You may be able to fix this by supplying a custom "webconfig.ini", where you change the IP adress, but it might be a problem if you intend to use it outside of the LAN. You will not be able to use the MapGuide API in offline mode. Also, you will have to implement most of the functionality yourself (zoom, pan, etc), as that is written in AJAX. There exists functionality to get raster map, set selection etc, but it is still raster. You might be able to get away with embedding a web browser (like studio does), or simply use the DWF viewer as an ActiveX control. These will have to run online though. You can also copy all data from the server, using Fdo, and storing it locally in SDF files. That should give nice speed, but you will have to render the map yourself. I'm not sure how much info the standard DWF map contains, but you might convince the server to give you a full DWF copy of the map. If you have that, you should be able to use the DFW viewer in offline mode.
