CivicAddressResolver Class
Provides functionality for resolving a coordinate-based location to a civic address.
Namespace: System.Device.Location
Assembly: System.Device (in System.Device.dll)
The CivicAddressResolver type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ResolveAddress | Synchronously resolves a civic address from a location based on latitude and longitude. This call will block execution of the calling thread while the address is being resolved. |
| ResolveAddressAsync | Resolves an address asynchronously from a location that is based on latitude and longitude. The call does not block execution of the calling thread while the address is being resolved. |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| ResolveAddressCompleted | Occurs when the address resolution that was initiated by a call to ResolveAddressAsync completes. |
The CivicAddressResolver class provides an implementation of ICivicAddressResolver that resolves a coordinate-based location to a civic address if the location provider provides both coordinates and civic address data.
The following program shows how to call ResolveAddress to resolve a civic address 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."); } } } } }
The following program shows how to call ResolveAddressAsync to resolve a civic address asynchronously.
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."); } } } } }
