How to find latitude and longitude using C#
c#, google-maps, latitude-longitude, rest
Solution
If you want to use the Google Maps API have a look at their REST API, you don't need to install a Google Maps API just send a Request like
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=true_or_false
and you will get a response XML.
For response JSON:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Estância+Sergipe,&key=**YOUR_API_KEY**
For more Information have a look at

Problem
I have a `WCF` service in C#. In the Service call client sends a city name. I want to convert the city name to latitudes and longitudes and store in Database under demographics. I am planning to use Google API to implement above functionality. I have obtained an API key from Google and its of type 'Service account'. How can I obtain the latitude and longitude using which APIs? Do I need to install some `SDK` or any `REST` Service will do?
