Namespace:  Telogis.GeoBase.Routing
Assembly:  geobase.net (in geobase.net.dll) Version: 4.99.0.0
Syntax
Copy
public Directions GetDirections(
	UnitSystem units,
	string culture,
	IAsyncDirectionsHandler handler
)

Parameters

units
Type: Telogis.GeoBase.NavigationUnitSystem
Defines the unit system used when generating natural-language directions. In the USA you would typically use ImperialFeet and in Australia you would typically use Metric. This ensures that the generated directions are given in units familiar to the end user.
culture
Type: SystemString
The culture that the returned Directions will use.
handler
Type: Telogis.GeoBase.RoutingIAsyncDirectionsHandler
A handler for asynchronous generation of directions.

Return Value

Type: Directions
Directions for this route. An aborted call returns null.

Implements

IRouteGetDirections(UnitSystem, String, IAsyncDirectionsHandler)
Remarks

Used to asynchronously supply natural-language directions as they are generated. IAsyncDirectionsHandler methods supported include OnDirectionsAppended(AsyncDirectionsEventArgs) which fires when a new direction is added to the Directions object; OnDirectionsClearUncommitted(AsyncDirectionsEventArgs) which fires when a direction is found to be incorrect clearing all uncommitted directions, OnDirectionsCommitted(AsyncDirectionsEventArgs) which fires when directions are confirmed as correct and commits all appended directions since the last commit, and OnDirectionsCompleted(AsyncDirectionsEventArgs) which fires when all directions have been generated and committed.
