topic Geocoding in Silverlight in ArcGIS API for Silverlight Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/geocoding-in-silverlight/m-p/574197#M14741 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi Forumteers,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am developing a web application and have run into a wall. The web application is time-enabled to show accounts of small pox in mostly the North American region from 1520 to 1848. This webapp would benefit from access to a geocoding (and zoom) service like Bing, Google and ESRI offers, but each of those options has a wrinkle: It is my understanding that Google geocoding service is only supposed to be in a Google API, the Bing geocoder requires a bing maps imagery background in their terms of use and the ESRI geocoder fails if you do not enter a numeric address. The scale of my map precludes requiring the entry of a numeric address to get to an area (as it seems ESRI requires), and the temporal aspect of the map makes putting&nbsp; modern imagery and roads (what Bing only offers) underneath the data undesirable and the limitations of being restricted to a Google API is why I started developing in Silverlight to begin with. So you can see, I am a little stymied.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Does anyone have any ideas for a solution for me? How can I put a search field on my web app where I can simply have a user enter "Chicago, IL" and have the app zoom to the region with the restrictions I have? I am developing with C# code-behind with Silverlight 4 for an educational institution with VS 2010 if any of that info is relevant. Please keep in mind that I am relatively new to coding and learn best from example. If you know of any examples of your approach where I can look at the code, I would be mush obliged!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks for any help, in advance</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Alex DeVine</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:43:03 GMT AlexDeVine 2012-02-06T19:43:03Z Geocoding in Silverlight https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/geocoding-in-silverlight/m-p/574197#M14741 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi Forumteers,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am developing a web application and have run into a wall.
