WinForms Maps - Create a Custom Search Panel Using the Microsoft Azure Maps Search Service

This example uses Microsoft’s Azure Maps Search Service to search for and obtain information on a specific map location.

NOTE: To incorporate this solution within your DevExpress-powered app, you need an Azure Maps service key. Replace the AzureKey property value with your subscription key to connect to Azure Maps.

Implementation Details

The original search panel is hidden. The DevExpress TextEdit UI element is used to specify a search keyword. The “Search for Location” button initiates the search request. To obtain search results, our AzureSearchDataProvider.SearchCompleted event is raised. The SearchCompletedEventArgs.RequestResult method returns a SearchRequestResult descendant (used to store search results). Results displayed within the DevExpress MemoEdit element include display name, address, and geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) for a given search location:
