Displaying a WMS layer within a Bing map VETiledLayer

JasonCantrell — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 13:11:15 GMT

I'm currently displaying a Bing map using VETiledLayer. I would like to overlay weather data from this site onto the Bing map. The weather data is available through WMS on that site. Is it possible to display that WMS layer within my VETiledLayer?

I've tried just displaying the VETiledLayer and a seperate WMSLayer with the weather data at the same time, but that just results in only the weather data being displayed (with white space where the map should be).

Jason,

Are you requesting the wms in a format that can display with a transparent background, such as png.

If not try using rest services:

There are also plenty of weather links on this thread:

Thanks, Anthony! My problem was that I was using jpg as my imageFormat for the WMSLayer.
