Examples

The following example shows how to resolve a CivicAddress from a GeoCoordinate location synchronously.

using System;
using System.Device.Location;
namespace ResolveAddressSync
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            ResolveAddressSync();
        }
        static void ResolveAddressSync()
        {
            GeoCoordinateWatcher watcher = new GeoCoordinateWatcher(GeoPositionAccuracy.High);
            watcher.MovementThreshold = 1.0; // set to one meter
            watcher.TryStart(false, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1000));

            CivicAddressResolver resolver = new CivicAddressResolver();

            if (watcher.Position.Location.IsUnknown == false)
            {
                CivicAddress address = resolver.ResolveAddress(watcher.Position.Location);

                if (!address.IsUnknown)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Country: {0}, Zip: {1}",
                            address.CountryRegion,
                            address.PostalCode);
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Address unknown.");
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

                    Console.WriteLine("Country: {0}, Zip: {1}",
                                address.CountryRegion,

The following example shows how to resolve a CivicAddress from a GeoCoordinate location asynchronously.

            bool started = false;
            watcher.MovementThreshold = 1.0; // set to one meter
            started = watcher.TryStart(false, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1000));

            if (started)
            {
                CivicAddressResolver resolver = new CivicAddressResolver();

                resolver.ResolveAddressCompleted += new EventHandler<ResolveAddressCompletedEventArgs>(resolver_ResolveAddressCompleted);

                if (watcher.Position.Location.IsUnknown == false)
                {
                    resolver.ResolveAddressAsync(watcher.Position.Location);

Remarks

A civic address for a location can be obtained from a GeoCoordinate by using a class that implements ICivicAddressResolver.

The CivicAddressResolver class provides a default implementation that returns the civic address that corresponds to a GeoCoordinate, if the location source provides both coordinate data as well as civic address data.

ResolveAddress returns a CivicAddress for the current location. If the location source is unable to resolve the coordinate position to a civic address, Unknown is returned.

Constructors

CivicAddress()	Initializes a new instance of the CivicAddress class.
CivicAddress(String, String, String, String, String, String, String, String)	Initializes a new instance of the CivicAddress class using address information.

Fields

Unknown

Represents a CivicAddress that contains no data.

Properties

AddressLine1	Gets or sets the first line of the address.
AddressLine2	Gets or sets the second line of the address.
Building	Gets or sets the building name or number.
City	Gets or sets the name of the city.
CountryRegion	Gets or sets the country or region of the location.
FloorLevel	Gets or sets the floor level of the location.
IsUnknown	Gets a value that indicates whether the CivicAddress contains data.
PostalCode	Gets or sets the postal code of the location.
StateProvince	Gets or sets the state or province of the location.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
