Remarks

To get access to the Bing Search service, you should specify the bing key using the BingMapDataProviderBase.BingKey property.

To learn how it can be done, see the How to: Get a Bing Maps Key topic.

To get access to the search options of the Bing Search Data provider, use the BingSearchDataProvider.SearchOptions property.

If you wish to see the search results in a search panel, use the BingSearchDataProvider.ShowSearchPanel property.

Examples

This example demonstrates how to allow users to search for a specific place on a map using the Search panel.

To enable searching in the map control, do the following.

• Create an InformationLayer and add it to the MapControl.Layers collection.
• Create an instance of the BingSearchDataProvider and assign it to the InformationLayer.DataProvider property.
• Specify the Bing Maps key using the BingMapDataProviderBase.BingKey property.

The Search panel appears automatically (since the BingSearchDataProvider.ShowSearchPanel property value is true by default).
