I have seen some new Bing Map caches styles; �??Dark�?� and �??Light�?�; and they look really sharp. The current version, 2.0, of the ESRI.ArcGIS.Bing assembly only has three map styles to select from; �??TileLayer.LayerType�?�. Is this to be updated in the future to support the different styles offered by Bing?
Attached is a screen shot of the dark map style. This can also be seen at work with the following link:
There are actually not new map styles, but filters added to the tiles on the client using Flex. You can accomplish the same effect by using the Effect property on the layer by specifying a PixelShader that does the same color manipulation. See http://wpffx.codeplex.com for a set of useful pixelshaders.
