I have seen vague references to this question elsewhere but have yet to find an answer...

Is there a way to determine the street names near a particular location? I know that you can find nearby places, but the closest I have see to this is a model where an area is defined and each lat/long in the location is queried to see if it is a street.

Any other ideas or references?

Thanks - Dave

I wonder if you Route to various points around a location to a particular distance.. then you could read the Directions properties. What do you think?

Great idea, when I'm done I will post the code. Last piece to finish this test is to figure out the latitude longitude from the location object (set via address) - can you point me to an article that might provide this? (alternatively if I can move the location object a certain amount - such as a mile up or over, that would work as well - any ideas?)

Thanks for the help in advance!

C# preferred, but beggers can't be choosers - I'll convert sample code if necessary

after some testing i'll post the code - no need for determining the lat and long - all that was needed was to generate some box corner locations from the image x and y pixel coordinates and go from there....

Code:

MapPoint.Location[] loc = new MapPoint.Location[4]; 

					int x1 = app.ActiveMap.LocationToX(location);
					int y1 = app.ActiveMap.LocationToY(location);

					loc[0] = app.ActiveMap.XYToLocation(x1+50, y1+50); 
					loc[1] = app.ActiveMap.XYToLocation(x1-50, y1+50); 
					loc[2] = app.ActiveMap.XYToLocation(x1-50, y1-50); 
					loc[3] = app.ActiveMap.XYToLocation(x1+50, y1-50);
