Recently Ive been struggling to get MapGuide and Sql server to work together. After posting to the forums I got a reply: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg11760.html. Very nice and to further explain here is a quick overview of what I did:
Step 1
Import your shape files into Sql Server I’ve used Shape2Sql available from www.sharpgis.net
Step 2
Run this query in sql to remove SRID from your features
update dbo.NAN_PARCELS set GEOM.STSrid = 0;Like described here.
Step 3
In my site I’ve used the Maestro API to load and filter my layers dynamically. This is my code behind in my default.aspx page.
//First we connect to the MapGuide serverstring username = "Anonymous";string password = "";string layout = "Library://MyFeat/Layout/Layout.WebLayout";String configPath = @"C:\Program Files\OSGeo\MapGuide\Web\www\webconfig.ini";
MapGuideApi.MgInitializeWebTier(configPath);
Uri host = new Uri("http://localhost/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi");conn = new HttpServerConnection(host, username, password, "en", true);
MgUserInformation userInfo = new MgUserInformation(conn.SessionID);MgSiteConnection siteConnection = new MgSiteConnection();siteConnection.Open(userInfo);
//Now I get the origanal layout that I created in the Maestro Application//Get the original layoutWebLayout weblayout = conn.GetWebLayout(layout);
//Get the mapDefinitionMapDefinition mapDef = conn.GetMapDefinition(weblayout.Map.ResourceId);
//get the feature sourceFeatureSource feaSource = conn.GetFeatureSource("Library://MyFeat/Data/SQL.FeatureSource");
//Generate a temporary feature sourcestring tempFeaDef = new ResourceIdentifier("SQL1", ResourceTypes.FeatureSource, conn.SessionID);
//Save the modified FeatureSource at its new temporary locationconn.SaveResourceAs(feaSource, tempFeaDef);
LayerDefinition layerFeatDefinition = conn.GetLayerDefinition("Library://MyFeat/Layer/Feat.LayerDefinition");VectorLayerDefinitionType vectorLayerFeatDefinition = layerFeatDefinition.Item as VectorLayerDefinitionType;vectorLayerFeatDefinition.ResourceId = tempFeaDef;//Now we filter on the user namevectorLayerFeatDefinition.Filter = "User_ID = '" + User.Identity.Name + "'";//Save a copy of the layer, temporarystring tempLayerFeatDef = new ResourceIdentifier("MyFeatLayer", ResourceTypes.LayerDefiniton, conn.SessionID);conn.SaveResourceAs(layerFeatDefinition, tempLayerFeatDef);
//Create a new MapLayer objectMapLayerType Featlayer = new MapLayerType();
//Absolute minimum propertiesFeatlayer.Visible = true;Featlayer.ResourceId = tempLayerFeatDef;
//Extra propertiesFeatlayer.Selectable = true;Featlayer.ExpandInLegend = true;Featlayer.ShowInLegend = true;Featlayer.LegendLabel = "Feats";Featlayer.Name = "Feat";//Now we add these layers to the MapList<MapLayerType> maplayers = new List<MapLayerType>();
maplayers.Insert(0, layerLande);maplayers.Insert(1, Featlayer);
mapDef.Layers = new MapLayerTypeCollection();foreach (MapLayerType mlt in maplayers){ mapDef.Layers.Add(mlt);}
MgFeatureService featureService = (MgFeatureService)siteConnection.CreateService(MgServiceType.FeatureService);MgResourceIdentifier resId = new MgResourceIdentifier("Library://MyFeat/Data/SQL.FeatureSource");String schema = featureService.DescribeSchemaAsXml(resId, "");
OSGeo.MapGuide.MaestroAPI.LayerDefinition ldef = conn.GetLayerDefinition(tempLayerFeatDef);Topology.Geometries.IEnvelope env = null;//To show the correct extend filter again (Very Important)env = ldef.GetSpatialExtent("User_ID = '" + User.Identity.Name + "'");mapDef.Extents.MinX = env.MinX;mapDef.Extents.MinY = env.MinY;mapDef.Extents.MaxX = env.MaxX;mapDef.Extents.MaxY = env.MaxY;
//create a temp mapstring tempMapDef = new ResourceIdentifier("MyMap", ResourceTypes.MapDefinition, conn.SessionID);
//Save the modified map at its new temporary locationconn.SaveResourceAs(mapDef, tempMapDef);
//Generate a temporary WebLayout idtempWebLayout = new ResourceIdentifier("MyMap", ResourceTypes.WebLayout, conn.SessionID);
//Update the WebLayout to point at the modified MapDefinitionweblayout.Map.ResourceId = tempMapDef;
//Save the modified layout at its new temporary locationconn.SaveResourceAs(weblayout, tempWebLayout);Step 4
My main problem was finding the correct extends of the selected geometry using the layers filters, and to load it after the filter was processed otherwise all the data in my database would be loaded, and will filter after the load which will really impact the performance. Please write a comment if you know of a better way of doing this.
