Add KML layer to BingLayer

Reynaldde_Castro — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 19:13:02 GMT

Has anyone added a KML layer on top of the Tiled Bing Layer? It seems that my problem is that the projection of the Bing Tiles are in WebMercator and the KML data I want to create is in decimal degrees. Is it possible to reproject the Bing map to Geographic? I have many KML layers to overlay.

I've done this using ESRI's ArcGIS Online but want to use Bing maps instead.

Simple, one line of code. Just make sure you add the ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Bing reference to the project with your KML classes, then inside the class that converts KML to features, replace the following:

        private MapPoint ExtractCoordinate(string coordinate)
        {
                ...
                //return mp;
                return ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Bing.Transform.GeographicToWebMercator(mp); 
        }
