Save and load a route into a windows phone bing map

I was searching some examples and articles related to saving and loading a route into a bing map but i couldn't find anything, so currently i am asking if this is possible.

Please let me know if this is supported by the bing maps for windows phone.

I used to use bing map api on my web I`m not sure if it will work well initialize the map using the following code.

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">`<html>
   <head>
      <title></title>
      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

      <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ecn.dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=7.0"></script>

      <script type="text/javascript">

         var map = null;

         function GetMap()
         {
            // Initialize the map
            map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map(document.getElementById("mapDiv"),{credentials:"Your Bing Maps Key", mapTypeId: Microsoft.Maps.MapTypeId.road }); 

         }

      </script>
   </head>
   <body onload="GetMap();">
      <div id='mapDiv' style="position:relative; width:400px; height:400px;"></div>
   </body>
</html>`

add code to make the route request when the button is clicked, and add code to the RouteCallback function to set the map view and draw the route.

         }

         function ClickRoute(credentials)

                     // Draw the route
                     var routeline = result.resourceSets[0].resources[0].routePath.line;
                     var routepoints = new Array();

                     for (var i = 0; i < routeline.coordinates.length; i++) {

                         routepoints[i]=new Microsoft.Maps.Location(routeline.coordinates[i][0], routeline.coordinates[i][1]);
                     }


                     // Draw the route on the map
