Hi

In 2015 I have developed a system using Silverlight which has a map module. I have used the RadMAp control. In this system the user could search for an address on the map using the BingSearchProvider component.

The problem is that searches have stopped working. I have investigated and you indicate that this type of search has become obstructive, which does not seem fair because you should respect those programs already developed with the versions of that year.

I need to indicate the steps to get the address search back into operation in the RadMap component.

Regards

Mauricio Grupp

Hello Mauricio,

Thank you for reaching out. Before I address your question, I wanted to quickly mention that this ticket type was changed to Forum (public link). Since you do not currently have a Support license, you can get technical support for a specific product by opening a case under its forum (the same dev team answers forum threads).

Okay, onto your question!

What you're experiencing is outside Telerik's control because Microsoft deprecated the endpoints that the BingSearchProvider used. Instead, Microsoft now asks you to use the Bing Maps REST API.

We went and developed a new map provider for you to use the new endpoints: BingRestMapProvider:

<telerik:RadMap> 
    <telerik:RadMap.Provider> 
        <telerik:BingRestMapProvider ApplicationId="Bing_Map_Key" Mode="Aerial" IsLabelVisible="True"/> 
    </telerik:RadMap.Provider> 
</telerik:RadMap>

Resources to help you update the implementation:

  1. Get a Bing Maps API key from Microsoft. See the instructions in the Bing Maps documentation
  2. Once you have a key, visit our Bing REST Map Provider documentation to see how to implement it for RadMap.

I hope this is helpful information. If you have any further trouble, you can open a new forum thread here - UI for Silverlight Map forums.
