Example

How to: Obtain and Display a List of Traffic Incidents

This example obtains a list of incidents in the specified area from the Bing Maps service and displays information about obtained incidents in a TextEdit control.

• Create an InformationLayer object and add it to the MapControl.Layers collection.

• Initialize the layer’s DataProvider property with a BingTrafficIncidentDataProvider object.

• Specify the provider’s BingKey property.

• Call the provider’s RequestTrafficIncidents method to receive a list of incidents.

• Handle the provider’s TrafficIncidentCalculated event to access the list of incidents and display incident-related information in a TextEdit control.
