Muzaffar	How to get Latitude and Longitude from Addresses.
	I have downloaded trail version 2.0.4 and trying to make a test web application. I want to get the latitude and longitude from addresses and want to place shapes at those places. I have a lot of addresses in the database. Can anybody please let me know how to handle this problem???

	To perform geocoding using the Web.Maps.VE v2.0 control you'll want to look at the "Find - Find Address" example within the Sample Website. This will show you how to perform geocoding. It sounds like you are looking to perform bulk geocoding of many address's. This can be done using Web.Maps.VE v2.0, but it isn't meant to perform bulk geocoding and will have poor performance. If the performance isn't an issue for you, then go ahead and implement it this way. However, if the performance of geocoding is an issue (as I suspect it to be) you'll need to subscribe to some other thrid-party geocoding service or use the Bing Maps Web Services from Microsoft.
