How to upload a screenshot of Bing map to a website

Question

Hi everyone, I have a WPF Bing map with polylines and pushpins on it. Now I want to take a screenshot of Bing map and then upload that image to a website to get the URL to share for other people. I captured the screenshot, but I don't know how to upload the image to a website to get the URL. Do you have any idea about implementing this function? I really need your help. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

This really depends on where you are uploading to. If it's your own server then you will need to create a web service which your WPF application can connect to in order to upload the file. If you are targeting SkyDrive then try one of these API's:

Thanks for your reply. I don't have my own server. I just look for some websites that let me upload images from WPF app. I don't know that SkyDrive allows users to upload images. Have you used imgur.com or flickr.com for uploading image from WPF?

Answer 3

Skydrive lets you upload just about any file format. It's used by a ton of apps in Windows 8 and WP for storing files online.  For imgur.com and flickr.com you have to look at their developer API's.
