Introduction The ProviderTemplate tool that allows you to build your own LocalNative connection provider that works against your specific installation of MapGuide/AIMS. The LocalNative connection provider wraps the official MapGuide .net API with the Maestro API interfaces. In previous releases, the LocalNative connection support was built into the MaestroAPI and required tricks like assembly binding redirection to work with newer versions of MapGuide/AIMS. This approach makes debugging difficult and problems hard to diagnose and resolve. For this iteration of the Maestro API, we provide the source code of the LocalNative connection provider with the SDK which you can then compile against the official .net assemblies in your installation of MapGuide/AIMS using this tool.
