[C#]
public System.String MimeType;
Remarks
MapPoint Web Service supports the following MIME types:
image/gif: 8-bit color in GIF 89a format.
image/jpeg: 8-bit color in JPEG format.
image/png: 8-bit color in PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format.
image/vnd.wap.wbmp or image/vnd.wap.wbmp;level=0: 1-bit black/white in WBMP (Wireless BitMap) format. This MIME format is only valid with maps rendered in PhoneBW Map Style.
Note If your maps include polygons, you should not use the image/gif MIME type. The image/jpeg and image/png MIME types provide better quality images for polygons.
