Subject	Accessing Bing Maps through the new Key authentication

Message	Hi, As far as I know, it' only possibly to access the Bing Maps SOAP API using Tokens, when using the ESRI Silverlight API. Microsoft have introduced Keys as a preffered way of connecting to the SOAP API, rather than tokens, and I wondered if anyone has been able to wire up a silverlight app using this approach? The MS approach is documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc980855.aspx Thanks for any help/pointers. Regards, Scott

Message	Piece of cake. Just hardcode the key into the Token property of your tile layer:
	<esri:Map x:Name="Map"> <bing:TileLayer ID="Bing Layer" ServerType="Production" LayerStyle="Aerial" Token="..." /> </esri:Map>
