FIGURE 12-17 Referencing the Bing SDK.
Before you can successfully use the Bing SDK, there are a couple of other points to be addressed.
The first is to reference the Bing SDK JavaScript file from within your pages. In default.html , add the
following SCRIPT tag:
<!-- Bing Map Control references -->
<script type="text/javascript"
src="ms-appx:///Bing.Maps.JavaScript//js/veapicore.js"></script>
The Bing SDK requires some credentials to work. Credentials are the way in which the library tracks
users and the use being made of the functions. Bing credentials consist of a key you create after you
register on the Bing portal at http://www.bingmapsportal.com . Figure 12-18 shows the page you land
on after you've successfully registered and created your key for a Windows Store app.
