We have a strong need to use Bing to get a roads layer (without imagery). I can get this layer just fine. But I need the "white" areas to be transparent so that I lay this layer over other imagery. On raster layers, we can set a transparency color (Key). Do we have any option to do something like this in Bing?
Bing Roads Transparency
Hello Ted,
Thanks for your post, I think we have Transparency property in BingMapsLayer too.
BingMapsLayer bingMapLayer = new BingMapsLayer();
bingMapLayer.Transparency = 1;

Gary
Can you provide documentatino for that property? I set it to 100, as a test, and it was like the Alpha… the entire layer became more translucent… including the actual roads and labels, too. That’s not what we need. We need the “white” part of the layer to be 100% transparent, and the non-white to be 100% opaque.
Hello Ted,
Sorry we don’t have that function for now, as you said, the Transparency is make the whole layer become translucent not just white part.
