public abstract class GeocodeAddress

Public MustInherit Class GeocodeAddress

The GeocodeAddress type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	AddressRanges	Gets the known street-number ranges for the result of this geocode. If this address is not a street, or if a specific street-number was provided as part of the search, null will be returned. If there is no known number data for this street, an empty array will be returned.
	City	The name of the city.
	ConfidenceScores	The confidence that this address matches the Geocoded address. The confidence is only applicable to forward geocode results; it is not applicable to drill down geocode results.
	FormattedAddress	Returns a long line formatted string representing a structured address returned from a geocoding operation.
	ItemInt32	Gets or sets the value of a field, given the field's index.
	ItemString	Gets or sets a field given the field's name.
	ItemString, String	Gets or sets a field based on the given language and field name.
	Line1	Obsolete. The first line of this address in the form "1234 Main St".
	PostalCode	The zip code of this address.
	Region	The name of the region.
	Street	The name of the street.
	Subregions	The name of the regions within a city.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetFields	Gets the fields contained within this address; such as street name, city and postal (zip) code.
	GetFields(String)	Implemented by derived classes to get the fields contained within this address, in the specified language.
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetOrdinal(String)	Finds the ordinal number of the specified field within the GeoCodeAddress structure, in the default language (English).
	GetOrdinal(String, String)	Finds the ordinal number of the specified field within the GeoCodeAddress structure, in a language specified by three-letter ISO country code.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToGeocodeResult	Stores the address used to generate a geocode result as a RawAddress. The result is found in FoundAddress.
	ToString	Format the address for display, depending on the information available. (Overrides ObjectToString.)

Fields

	Name	Description
	BoundingBox	A bounding box containing the address. Only present if HasBoundingBox is true. If a bounding box is present then Location is set to the centroid of the bounding box.
	Confidence	An expression of confidence of the geocoding engine in nominating this result as being the correct result. The confidence is a decimal number between 0 and 1; with 1 representing the highest confidence. The confidence is only applicable to forward geocode results; it is not applicable to drill down geocode results.
	Country	The name of the country that this GeoCodeAddress is in.
	HasBoundingBox	Whether this GeoCodeAddress has a bounding box, in which case BoundingBox is set to the bounding box and Location is set to its centroid. Bounding boxes are only currently returned for region-level GeoCodeAddresses.
	Intersection	A LatLon representing the point where the address connects with the street network.
	Location	A LatLon representing the coordinate location of the address.
	MatchType	Indicates the primary search method type that was used to find this result.
	MaxNumber	Represents the maximum value of the range of street numbers between which this address lies.
	MinNumber	Represents the minimum value of the range of street numbers between which this address lies.
	Number	The exact street number (if the exact street number is not available this value will be < 1).

Remarks

If GeoCoding was unable to return an exact street number, MinNumber and MaxNumber will represent (respectively) the minimum and maximum street numbers between which the address lies.

The MatchType field will indicate the primary attribute used by the geocoding process to match the address string with a location within the map data. If using Point Address Data and geocoding for a numbered address, then a MatchType of MATCH_POINT_ADDRESS indicates the result is a point address, while MATCH_STREET indicates that address interpolation has been used as a fallback.

Examples

Copy

GeocodeAddress[] addr = GeoCoder.GeoCode("20 Enterprise, Aliso Viejo, California", Country.USA);
if (addr.Length > 0) {
    for (int i = 0; i < addr.Length; i++) {
            Console.WriteLine("Found '{0}' at LatLon {1}", addr[i], addr[i].Location);
            // Found '20 Enterprise, Aliso Viejo, California, 92656, USA' at LatLon 33.584444,-117.731874
    }
} else {
    Console.Write("No matching address found");
}
