Geocoding Addresses using .NET

JR99

I'm creating a feature class via .NET code that contains non-geocoded address data.

ArcPy has a function arcpy.geocoding.GeocodeAddresses which allows the geocoding of address data.

Is there somthing similar in the ArcGIS Pro SDK?

 

I'm aware of the ArcGISRuntime - LocatorTask. GeocodeAsync() function but I'd prefer to use something inbuilt to the .NET SDK rather than needing to use another package.

I'd also prefer not to have a call the python function from .NET to perform the task.

I've managed to find sample code here:

arcgis-pro-sdk-community-samples/SimpleGeocode.cs at master · Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk-community-samples · GitHub

protected override async void OnClick()
{
string text = "380 New York St, Redlands, CA, 92373, USA";

// geocode
IEnumerable<ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping.Geocoding.GeocodeResult> results = await MapView.Active.LocatorManager.GeocodeAsync(text, false, false);

// show results
string msg = "results : " + results.Count().ToString() + "";
foreach (var result in results)
msg = msg + result.ToString() + "";

ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show(msg, "Geocode Results");
}
}
}

 

The GeocodeResult object contains a MapPoint object, so I'm expecting I'll be able to add that to the feature class to geocode it.
