I have installed the Bing Map SDK and placed a Map Control in my Silverlight App.
It works fine but I have a white bar that runs through the center.

Here are the settings for the control...

On the artboard the bar is not visible. Just when your run the application and it also shows in the published.
I asked this on the Silverlight.net forums but since they have over 24 pages of questions that no one has even bothered to reply to... well I thought I'd start here. I've searched MSDN, Silverlight.net, these forums... no one has ever mentioned this
as a problem.
Oh, here's the xaml...

</microsoft_maps_mapcontrol:pushpin>
</microsoft_maps_mapcontrol:map>
</canvas>
I've tried to right-click and get into the template but the only option is to create empty.
And you can click through the white bar.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong with my setup?
Thanks.
