how to parse a Google Maps geocoding result

Question

I want to retrieve Geo address from given latitude and longitude using geocoding, using the given example on the site

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocod

Answer 1

I have a simple solution that works for the Google Geocode JSON results. It is a simple for loop that returns that short and long version in a string array. Just call the function and provide the "types" in the argument.

string[] street_number = GetJSONValueBasedOnType(record.geocode, "street_number");

    public string[] GetJSONValueBasedOnType(NewGoogleGeocode gc, string WhatYouWant)
{
    string[] returns = new string[2];
    returns[0] = string.Empty;
    returns[1] = string.Empty;
    bool isInIt;

    foreach (var v in gc.results[0].address_components)
    {
        isInIt = false;
        foreach (var t in v.types)
        {
            if (t == WhatYouWant)
            {
                isInIt = true;
            }
        }
        if (isInIt)
        {
            returns[0] = v.short_name;
            returns[1] = v.long_name;
        }
    }
    return returns;
}
