Windows 8.1 Bing map control

Question

I have added the bing map reference and name space but when I drag and drop the map control to my designer it give me an error.

A reference to "Bing.Maps.Xaml, Version=1.313.0825.0" has been added to the project.In Order to use types from the new reference,Press ok to restart the XAML Designer. After the XAML Designer restarts, Re-create the control on the artboard.

I have restarted the xaml designer and tried new project but all in vein.

Answer 3

I think you can download http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Windows-8-Modern-Style-App-Samples samples (it contains 200 samples for "Windows 8.1").

And you can have a look what BingMap app sample does thing different than your app (and also maybe you can try to add sample's dll to your application, there could be a version difference.)
