how to generate a map based on a given scale [Bing Map]? - dictionary

Question

I recently started working with [Bing Api] in my webService [wcf] in c #.
I would like to recover a satellite image of a given scale with Bing!
for example
Scale 1:200 (1 centimeter on the map equal 200 centimeters on the world)
Of course I found this function that explains how to calculate the image resolution satellite bing but this is not what I'm looking for ..
Map resolution = 156543.04 meters/pixel * cos(latitude) / (2 ^ zoomlevel)
Here is my function used to generate my bing map, but I do not know what to send parameter to retrieve an image scale of 1:200.
I need :
Scale = 1:200
I search :
int mapSizeHeight = ?
int mapSizeWidth = ?
int zoomLevel = ?
public string GetImageMap(double latitude,double longitude,int mapSizeHeight, int mapSizeWidth, int zoomLevel)
{
string key = "ddsaAaasm5vwsdfsfd2ySYBxfEFsdfsdfcFh6iUO5GI4v";
MapUriRequest mapUriRequest = new MapUriRequest();
// Set credentials using a valid Bing Maps key
mapUriRequest.Credentials = new ImageryService.Credentials();
mapUriRequest.Credentials.ApplicationId = key;
// Set the location of the requested image
mapUriRequest.Center = new ImageryService.Location();
mapUriRequest.Center.Latitude = latitude;
mapUriRequest.Center.Longitude = longitude;
// Set the map style and zoom level
MapUriOptions mapUriOptions = new MapUriOptions();
mapUriOptions.Style = MapStyle.Aerial;
mapUriOptions.ZoomLevel = zoomLevel;
mapUriOptions.PreventIconCollision = true;
// Set the size of the requested image in pixels
mapUriOptions.ImageSize = new ImageryService.SizeOfint();
mapUriOptions.ImageSize.Height = mapSizeHeight;
mapUriOptions.ImageSize.Width = mapSizeWidth;
mapUriRequest.Options = mapUriOptions;
//Make the request and return the URI
ImageryServiceClient imageryService = new ImageryServiceClient();
MapUriResponse mapUriResponse = imageryService.GetMapUri(mapUriRequest);
return mapUriResponse.Uri;
}

If you haven't already, you might want to check out this article on the Bing Maps tile system calculations, within you will find a section discussing ground resolution and map scale. From that article:
map scale = 1 : ground resolution * screen dpi / 0.0254 meters/inch
Depending on which implementation of Bing Maps you use, specifying the view via a precise map scale might not be possible. I think this is due to the fact that you don't have precise control over the zoom level. For example, in the javascript ajax version, you can only specify zoom levels in integer values, so the ground resolution part of the above equation will jump in discreet steps. At the equator, using a zoom level of 21 will give you a scale of 1: 282, and a zoom level of 22 will give you 1:141. Since you can't specify a decimal value for zoom level, it is not possible to get an exact 1:200 scale using the ajax control. I don't have extensive experience with the .net Bing Maps control, so you might want to investigate that API to see if you can specify an arbitrary zoom level.
If you can precisely control the zoom level and know the dpi value, then the 1:200 scale is achievable using the equation described in the above linked article.
