====== Map Suite MVC Edition Azure Deployment Guide ======

{{section>upgrade_map_suite_to_10.0}}

The purpose of this guide is to show you how to upload your MVC Edition Sample to Azure Server, and at the same time install the MVC Server Edition to remove the watermark after deployment. It is using 3 key files( one cmd , one exe and one msi). MVC Server Edition serial number needs to be upgraded in the cmd file to pass the online validation. 

This guide works with Map Suite 7.0 MVC Edition. If you are using 7.0.0.0 assemblies you can directly use the attached tools. If you are using a newer version please replace the “Setup Unmanaged Dependencies 7.0.0.0.msi” and update the corresponding script in MapSuiteMVCServerAzureInstaller.cmd.

<code csharp>
Map map = new Map("Map1", new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit(99, System.Web.UI.WebControls.UnitType.Percentage), 460);

map.MapBackground.BackgroundBrush = new GeoSolidBrush(GeoColor.FromHtml("#E5E3DF"));
map.CurrentExtent = new RectangleShape(-131.22, 55.05, -54.03, 16.91);
map.MapUnit = GeographyUnit.DecimalDegree;
map.MapTools.PanZoomBar.Enabled = true;
map.MapTools.MouseCoordinate.Enabled = true;

ShapeFileFeatureLayer layer = new ShapeFileFeatureLayer(Server.MapPath("SampleData/cities_a.shp"));
layer.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.DefaultPointStyle = PointStyles.Capital1;
layer.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.ApplyUntilZoomLevel = ApplyUntilZoomLevel.Level20;

LayerOverlay overlay = new LayerOverlay();
overlay.Layers.Add(layer);

map.CustomOverlays.Add(overlay);

return View(map);
