Bing Maps in BaseMapGallery

[MichaelLacy]

How do you get Bing Maps to work in the BaseMapGallery tool?  In the Tools.xml file, the default configuration includes some Bing Maps (see below), but they don't show up.  I did manage to get them to appear in the gallery by changing the BaseMapType to Tile/Road/Aerial/Hybrid, but then I get an error when I click on it:

There was an error connecting to http://dev.virtualearth.net/webservices/v1/imageryservice/imageryservice.svc.  Please check the URL, make sure the service is running, and try again.

When creating a TileLayer in code, no URL is necessary.  I tried putting my Bing Maps key in various places, but I still couldn't get it to work.  What am I missing?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Michael,

Did you put your Bing Maps App ID in the Application Builder - Application Settings?

Once you have entered your key, the Bing Maps Road, Aerial, and Hybrid basemaps are available for use.

No, I did not.  We aren't using the application builder -- deploying from Visual Studio -- but I see where to put it in the Application.xml config file.  Thanks!
