Here’s how I have done it. I used the CustomProvider option rather than the WmsLayer option, and I notice that the URL I am using is different. But this is the one we are licensed for; perhaps yours is different, and you may need to modify this accordingly.

Regards.  
Jerry.

```
    Dim ID As Integer = tkTileProvider.ProviderCustom
    ' add custom provider definition
    AxMap1.Tiles.Providers.Add(ID, "ESRI",
        "https://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer/tile/{zoom}/{y}/{x}",
        tkTileProjection.SphericalMercator, 0, 19,
        "Esri, DigitalGlobe, GeoEye, i-cubed, USDA FSA, USGS, AEX, Getmapping, Aerogrid, IGN, IGP, swisstopo, and the GIS User Community")

    ' set custom provider
    AxMap1.Tiles.ProviderId = ID

    AxMap1.Redraw3(tkRedrawType.RedrawSkipAllLayers, True)
```
