Welcome to the Microsoft Silverlight SDK for Bing. This toolkit provides stock implementations of a Silverlight application and a User control which demonstrate a set of reusable view controls which in turn consume the Microsoft Bing search API. You can use the User control as is, or you may use it as an example of how to create your own. The controls provided in the assembly System.Windows.Controls.Views.Toolkit can be used by any Silverlight application, are fully data bindable, and support control and data templates.
