Application using Bing Maps API

Tags:

bing-maps

I need to create an application where user can enter Longitude and Latitude in TextBox and it will show a MAP using BING API. I need to show the Acquisition Date of Bird's Eye View and satellite View in the Map. Also an option that user can show the acquisition date to some third person.

How can I retrieve Acquisition Date and get location in Map using BING API? Can you write few lines of C# code to demonstrate?

The MSDN guides include samples very close to this. The latitude/longitude portion is part of the guide itself. (MSDN Bing Maps .NET Getting started article) Look down in the section on Retrieving Imagery Metadata to get further information on the image acquisition information.
