Get Lattitude and Longitude on click mouse in any place on the bing map

Question

I'm developing a windows store application using c# , the problem is My location is not totally correct , so i want  to get the longitude and latitude manually on mouse click on the bing map ( I found the solution only in WPF Application on Map controls) or for the best solution to me  is to  make the pushpin drag-gable to make it  on the correct position.

Can u give me a simple code to do it ? thank you

I've put together a code sample for you on how to do this and uploaded it here: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Draggable-Pushpin-in-Bing-939eaaa5

If you want to get the address of the location the pushpin is dragged to you can use the DragCompleted event that I created on the custom DraggablePushpin class to get the location of the pushpin (the sample shows how to get the location from the event when it is dragging, use the same logic). You can then take that location and use the Reverse Geocoding service in the Bing Maps REST services:

You can also change the style of the Draggable pushpin in the DraggablePushpin.xaml file.
