Bing Map Does Not Appear using Bing Map Imagery services within the Silverlight API

AlbertFrausto — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 07:37:22 GMT

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on the issue I'm having. The project I'm working on initially utilized the standard ArcGIS Tiled Map Service Layer, but recently needed to be switched to use Bing Maps. I've looked at the instructions on how to setup up Bing Map Imagery services within the Silverlight API at the following link:

http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/help/index.html#/Using_Bing_Maps_Imagery_Geocode_and_Route_services/01660000001s000000/

But I was not able to successfully implement the instructions. I received no error message, but the Bing Map does not appear in the Silverlight project. What am I doing wrong?

The instructions also mentioned "one important item that some folks overlook is that the Bing Map products use a web Mercator projection, which then requires that the map service being consumed from the ArcGIS Server to be set to this same projection". Is this something that must be done in the Silverlight project or on the ArcGIS server? How does one accomplish this?

Here is the XAML for my project. The layers for the project are on an ArcGIS Server v.10.

The Map.Extent you provided does not work for this layer. Try it without the Extent and ConstrainExtentBehavior.

Thank you Jennifer that did the trick. Now, how do you set the web Mercator projection for the map services so it matches that of the Bing Map?

Thanks again for your help.
