  Hello Jimmy,
  
  In the RightMenu method you are assigning a new provider to the private mapProvider field instead of public MapProvider property. So no PropertyChanged event is raised and binding to the view model doesn't update Provider property of the RadMap control. Actually you don't need to create new instance of the BingMapProvider to change its mode. You can simple use the Mode property of the existing provider.

  Hello:
      I want to ask how to binging Mode property ?
      I used this code in xaml:
          <telerik:RadMap Name="Map" Margin="0 0 0 0"
                          HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"
                          Center="30.5,-33.4" CommandBarVisibility="Collapsed"
                          MouseLocationIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed" NavigationVisibility="Collapsed"
                          ScaleVisibility="Collapsed" ZoomBarPresetsVisibility="Collapsed"
                          ZoomBarVisibility="Collapsed" ZoomLevel="4">
              <telerik:RadMap.Provider>
                  <telerik:BingMapProvider ApplicationId="AqKk5lc40_-hQY5SwkvonqQsX3Rj2b-tRN1u30tfJX8CuGqVYo0v_GPQ4kZHgHLx" IsLabelVisible="True"
                                           Mode="{Binding BingMapMode}" />
              </telerik:RadMap.Provider>
          </telerik:RadMap>
      and the viewModel, I tried two way:
      1、

          private MapMode bingMapMode = MapMode.Road;
   
          public MapMode BingMapMode
          {
              get { return bingMapMode; }
              set
              {
                  bingMapMode = value;
                  NotifyOfPropertyChange(() => BingMapMode);
              }
          }
    2、
          private string bingMapMode = "Road";
   
          public string BingMapMode
          {
              get { return bingMapMode; }
              set
              {
                  bingMapMode = value;
                  NotifyOfPropertyChange(() => BingMapMode);
              }
          }
  but all of these does not work, and throw some error!

  Hello Jimmy,
  
  Unfortunately the Mode, IsLabelVisible and ApplicationId properties are not dependency properties. So, the BingMapProvider doesn't support data binding to them.
  We have created a PITS issue to implement this feature in future releases of map control. You can track implementation of it using the following link:
