CivicAddressResolver.ResolveAddressAsync(GeoCoordinate) Method

Definition

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.

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

Parameters

coordinate
GeoCoordinate

The GeoCoordinate containing the location to resolve to a civic address.

Implements

Exceptions

coordinate is null.

coordinate does not contain a valid latitude and longitude.

Examples

The following program shows how to call ResolveAddressAsync to resolve a civic address asynchronously.

using System;
using System.Device.Location;
namespace ResolveAddressSync
{
    class AsyncProgram
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            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 == false)
                {
                    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.");
            }

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).
