I'm using the following to call calcpos to try and grab the long and lat of an address

Code:

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Dim objmap As MapPoint.Map
        Dim objLoc As MapPoint.Location
        Dim lat, lon As Double
        objmap = AxMappointControl1.ActiveMap
        objLoc = objmap.FindAddressResults("Moss Lane", "Bolton", "", "", "BL1", "England")
        CalcPos(objmap, objLoc, lat, lon)

    End Sub

But aparently using objloc in that manner is an invalid cast :s any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

I think FindAddressResults returns an array or set up points. Check the syntax and examples, I think you need an (1) or (0) after it.

Aha!!! it did indeed need a (1), cheers but its not assigning the value of long and lat to the values that i declare in teh call, they're being updated as 0.0 and 0.0 when the values within the procedure are actually correct and the update of thte values is going ahead :s

It's possible it's not finding a location with that address? Or try a (0), maybe the index starts at 0 and there is no second location (1).

Its definitly finding the correct long and lat, at the moment i've adjusted it so that in the sub its writing the values to 2 labels. However, the 2 labels that are updated in the button function that calls the calcpos sub are updated as 0. Saying that at the moment its working even though its a dirty solution, I'd just like to figure out why its not returning teh values really. In vb6 there'd usually be a return dbllat, dbllon to do it, but return can't be used within a sub in vb.net apparently :s
