Reverse Geocode by latitude and longitude

[MIkeColonna]

Hello all,

I'm a newbie to ArcGIS

I been searching around the forum and got most of my questions answer without having to post one of my own until now.

I have the  latitude and longitude  and I need Reverse Geocode to find the state.

I don't need the MAP so I'm not sure if there is way to pass a function the latitude and longitude and get the candidate.address object?


any help would be great thanks.

Found the answer:  had the  lat-lon Reverse and the wrong SpatialReference below is the simple app if anyone else new runs into this problem...
