Project Description
In this Code Library you will find out how easy it is to integrate
Bing Locations Service with
RadMap and allow the user to find location by
address or by
name.
Although this particular example demonstrates integration with
Bing Locations Service, there are many other services that you could use for retrieving coordinates by address or by name. The main idea of this Code Library is to illustrate how to use a service returning coordinates for a location (found by some criteria) and how to display the result in
RadMap dynamically.
To make the integration more user-friendly, a
RadListBox control is used for displaying a list with all returned locations from the service, since one search criteria may return multiple results (if it is not descriptive enough).
Bing Locations Service
You can use
Bing Locations Service to retrieve latitude and longitude coordinates for a location by specifying values such as a locality, postal code, street address or location name. Detailed information on the service is available in the below articles:
Important Note
In the attached page you will see that in two places there is a text “Use a valid Bing Map Key provided by Microsoft”. For getting RadMap to display the Tile layer correctly and in order to retrieve any data from the Bing Location Service you will have to replace that text with a valid Bing Map Key.
