I have made a small step towards a Silverlight "viewer": A managed
render, with a MapGuide provider:
http://code.google.com/p/littlesharprenderengine/
If you run the project, it can render features from MapGuide, eg. the
Sheboygan dataset.
There are a lot of loose ends, such as scaleranges, lab

Hello,
It's the first time that I see this thread. We are using both mapguide

tested both viewers (DWG and AJAX) and we're using AJAX viewer because in

The viewer and the performence of it has continued to be an issue for us. We
were backed into a situation where we had to continue using the DWF viewer
because it was the only viewer capable of delivering the application we
develop at a usable level of performance on MapGuide 2009. I myself am not
free to start that
conversation :)

Yes, exactly. But it does require the "serverconfig.ini" file, and the

Perhaps I am missing something here but my understanding of the latest
versions of MapGuide was that it still supports the ActiveX based viewer as
well as the new AJAX viewer, is this correct?
If this is correct then I would ask the question of how the ActiveX viewer

Such a viewer should be able to achieve performance that is comparable
to the MapGuide 6.5 viewer,
without the need for an ActiveX plugin.
