This example demonstrates how to find a location on a map using the Microsoft Bing Search data service.
Note that the built-in search panel is not used in this example, so the BingSearchDataProvider.ShowSearchPanel property is set to false.
A search location parameter is passed to the BingSearchDataProvider.Search method, and you can see a desired location on the map. Note that there are 5 overloads for the Searchmethod, depending on your search criteria.
If you run this sample as is, you will get a warning message stating that the specified Bing Maps key is invalid. To learn about how to register a Bing Maps account and create a key for it, refer to How to: Get a Bing Maps Key tutorial.

Hi,
Cannot make this work.. Lot of undefined classes, for example InformationLayer is not known..
I added using DevExpress.XtraMap + referenced the XtraMap assembly..
What is missing?
Regards,
Koen
