How to get latitude and longitude from a postal address Virtual Earth Map Control Development Wi

There is a demonstration of a “find & add results to layer” in the iSDK under Find Information, Add Results

I am worried about whether it will take too much time to have the map do it …

I remembered, then, that SQL 08 has geometry data type & new functions to go with it … maybe I could then bulk process a list of addresses on my local db.

MapPoint Batch Geocoder - Home

GeocodeServiceClient.Geocode Method

well, looks like geocoding is not an available function. The same outcome is possible using a Mappoint Service:

Virtual Earth & SQL Server 2008 - Part 4 Integrating SQL Server 2008 and Virtual Earth (1-6) – W

or using the Yahoo geocode service:

Yahoo Geocode, SQL Server 2008 and ASP.NET AJAX

& I am pretty sure there is a google one too.
