Hi Carl, To my knowledge, the only person who is even thinking about implementing a Silverlight or Flex viewer for MapGuide is Haris Kurtagic; there are no RFCs or initiatives that I know about to create this. Flex would be desirable from a cross-browser and installation base perspective, but I think that we probably have more .Net developers in this community than Flex developers, so it may make more sense from a maintenance perspective to go with a Silverlight viewer.
If you have a business need for a vector-based viewer and development resources or funding to apply to it, please feel free to start that conversation :) Jason -----Original Message----- From: Carl Jokl Sent: February-20-09 1:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mapguide-users] Silverlight/Moonlight Viewer IT has been over 6 months or so since the last post on this thread. Has any progress been made on a viewer. I note that in the interim Silverlight 2.0 has been launched as well as Moonlight 1.0. It is pretty official now that the DWF viewer is not going to be supported in the future and althought the AJAX viewer has made some performance increaces it still has some performance penalties in particular when it comes to tool tipping. The AJAX viewer seems fairly usable for simpler mapping data but still struggles when using lots of layers which is something which the company I work for has to do. Any updates?
