ICivicAddressResolver.ResolveAddressAsync(GeoCoordinate) Method

Definition

Namespace:
System.Device.Location
Assembly:
System.Device.dll

Initiates a request to resolve a latitude/longitude location to an address.

public:
 void ResolveAddressAsync(System::Device::Location::GeoCoordinate ^ coordinate);
public void ResolveAddressAsync(System.Device.Location.GeoCoordinate coordinate);
abstract member ResolveAddressAsync : System.Device.Location.GeoCoordinate -> unit
Public Sub ResolveAddressAsync (coordinate As GeoCoordinate)

Parameters

coordinate
GeoCoordinate

The latitude/longitude location to resolve to an address.

Examples

The following example shows how to call ResolveAddressAsync.

static void ResolveAddressAsync()
{
    GeoCoordinateWatcher watcher = new GeoCoordinateWatcher(GeoPositionAccuracy.High);
    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)
        {
            resolver.ResolveAddressAsync(watcher.Position.Location);
        }
    }
}

static void resolver_ResolveAddressCompleted(object sender, ResolveAddressCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    if (!e.Address.IsUnknown)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Country: {0}, Zip: {1}",
                   e.Address.CountryRegion,
                   e.Address.PostalCode);
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Unknown address.");
    }
}


Public Sub ResolveCivicAddressAsync()
    Dim watcher As GeoCoordinateWatcher
    watcher = New System.Device.Location.GeoCoordinateWatcher(GeoPositionAccuracy.High)
    Dim started As Boolean = False
    watcher.MovementThreshold = 1.0     'set to one meter
    started = watcher.TryStart(False, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1000))
    If started Then
        Dim resolver As CivicAddressResolver = New CivicAddressResolver()
        AddHandler resolver.ResolveAddressCompleted, AddressOf resolver_ResolveAddressCompleted
        If Not watcher.Position.Location.IsUnknown Then
            resolver.ResolveAddressAsync(watcher.Position.Location)
        End If
    End If

    watcher.Start()

End Sub

Sub resolver_ResolveAddressCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ResolveAddressCompletedEventArgs)
    If Not e.Address.IsUnknown Then
        Console.WriteLine("Country: {0}, Zip: {1}",
                       e.Address.CountryRegion,
                       e.Address.PostalCode)
    Else
        Console.WriteLine("Unknown address.")
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

This method stores in the task it returns all non-usage exceptions that the method's synchronous counterpart can throw. If an exception is stored into the returned task, that exception will be thrown when the task is awaited. Usage exceptions, such as ArgumentException, are still thrown synchronously. For the stored exceptions, see the exceptions thrown by ResolveAddress(GeoCoordinate).
