Check for Bird Eye View Availability In Bing Map version 7

**tarun_chhatwal** · 05-30-2011

I am using Bing Map Version 7, but not bale to check if bird eye view is available for the property or not.

In Bing Mao ver 6.3, we have method "IsBirdseyeAvailable" to check for bird eye view availability.

Please let me know how to proceed on this.
