MapGuide Portable

MapGuide Portable (formerly known as mg-desktop) is a portable implementation of the MapGuide Platform that has no dependencies on a MapGuide Server or Web Tier.

All the necessary components and services for building geospatial applications such as feature data access and map rendering/stylization are contained in the MapGuide Portable library itself.

As such, MapGuide Portable is geared for building self-contained console/desktop geospatial applications.

Migrating your application from mg-desktop

After removing mg-desktop and replacing it with this nuget package, the code migration process is simply renaming a bunch of classes and namespaces.

• The namespace is now OSGeo.MapGuide.Portable instead of OSGeo.MapGuide.Desktop
• Classes starting with Mgd now start with MgPortable
  • eg. MgPortableMap instead of MgdMap

After doing these code changes, your application should now build and run as before.
