Hi

The code below has been converted from vb.net to c# and now generates a
error


public void GetLatLon (string pc)
{
MapPoint.Map objMap;
MapPoint.Location objLoc;
try
{
objMap = map1.ActiveMap;
objLoc = (MapPoint.Location)(objMap.FindAddressResults("", "", "", "", pc,
MapPoint.GeoCountry.geoCountryUnitedKingdom ));
CalcPos(objMap, objLoc, globals.mapln, globals.mapLt);
objLoc = null;
objMap = null;
}
catch (Exception err)
{
Interaction.MsgBox(err.Message, 0, null);
}
}



error message = "Specified cast is not valid." is returned by line -
objLoc = (MapPoint.Location)(objMap.FindAddressResults("", "", "", "", pc,
MapPoint.GeoCountry.geoCountryUnitedKingdom ));


Any ideas folks

This did it if anyone wants to know.

public void GetLatLon (string pc)
{
try
{
MapPoint.Map objMap;
MapPoint.Location objLoc;
MapPoint.FindResults objRes;
objMap = globals.t.map1.ActiveMap;
objRes = objMap.FindAddressResults(string.Empty, string.Empty,
string.Empty, string.Empty, pc, null);
if(objRes != null && objRes.Count > 0)
{
object index = 1;
objLoc = objRes.get_Item(ref index) as MapPoint.Location;
}
objLoc = null;
objMap = null;
}
catch (Exception err)
{
Interaction.MsgBox(err.Message, 0, null);
}
}

Thanks to Chandu for the pointer.
