Public Class BingElevationDataProvider
    Inherits BingMapDataProviderBase
    Implements IMouseClickRequestSender

Remarks

Important

On May 21, 2024, Microsoft announced that Bing Maps for Enterprise and its API will be discontinued. Azure Maps will be a single unified enterprise mapping platform available from Microsoft.

We are working on API compatible with Azure Maps and expect to ship it with our next major release (v24.2).

If you have an existing license to Bing Maps for Enterprise, you can continue using our existing API. You need to transition to new API until June 30, 2025 (free and basic license) or until June 30, 2028 (enterprise license).

The last date you can get a new license to Bing Maps for Enterprise is June 30, 2025. If you do not have an existing license after that date, you would not be able to use our map controls with Bing Maps or Azure Maps (until we release the new API). During that time, you can use other map providers supported by our controls, such as OpenStreetMap.

Example

This example demonstrates how to receive elevation information from the Bing Maps service.

To do this, request elevation information using the BingElevationDataProvider.RequestPointsElevations method. Then, display the request result using the BingElevationDataProvider.ElevationsCalculated event handler.

using DevExpress.XtraMap;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace BingElevationData {
    public partial class Form1 : Form {
        InformationLayer layer { get { return (InformationLayer)mapControl.Layers[1]; } }
        VectorItemsLayer vectorLayer { get { return (VectorItemsLayer)mapControl.Layers[2]; } }
        BingElevationDataProvider provider { get { return (BingElevationDataProvider)layer.DataProvider; } }
        public Form1() {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            provider.ElevationsCalculated += OnElevationCalculated;
            provider.GenerateLayerItems = false;
            List<GeoPoint> locations = new List<GeoPoint> {
                new GeoPoint(41.145556, -73.995),
                new GeoPoint(36.131389, -95.937222),
                new GeoPoint(36.175, -115.136389)
            };
            provider.RequestPointsElevations(locations);
        }
        void OnElevationCalculated(object sender, ElevationsCalculatedEventArgs e) {
            MapItemStorage storage = new MapItemStorage();
            foreach (ElevationInformation elevationInformation in e.Result.Locations) {
                storage.Items.Add(new MapCallout() {
                    Text = string.Format("{0}\nElevation = {1} m", elevationInformation.Location, elevationInformation.Elevation),
                    Location = elevationInformation.Location
                });
            }
            vectorLayer.Data = storage;
        }
