Sorry for the late reply.
The Bing provider is already in the Tiles class: axMap1.Tiles.Provider = tkTileProvider.Bing

Just set your API key in GlobalSettings.BingApiKey

why my C# code does not work

  axMap1.Projection = tkMapProjection.PROJECTION_GOOGLE_MERCATOR;
        new GlobalSettings() { BingApiKey = "my bing key" };
        axMap1.Tiles.Provider = tkTileProvider.BingMaps;

when I run the code, the application exits.

I’m not sure.
Do you have the crash when using OSM as well?

5

No. It works well when I used OSM. And the website https://mapwindow.org/ is not in the service.

We know mapwindow.org is offline. We’re working on it.
You can use MapWinGIS: Tiles Class Reference for the documentation.
You could enable the tile logging and see what errors are logged.
Perhaps the URL for Bing is changed or something else has changed.

Could you tell me how to enable the tile logging?

Look at GlobalSettings.StartLogTileRequests()

I updated the documentation and added a link to GlobalSettings.StartLogTileRequests() in Tiles.LogFilename
