Geocode service GetDefaultInputFieldMapping method

Acceptable field name mappings (inputs) to address fields in a geocode service. Only valid for the address table parameter in the GeocodeAddresses() method.

GetDefaultInputFieldMapping()

Return Value

A PropertySet containing keys (properties) and values. The keys are the address fields defined by the geocode service. Fields may be required or optional - use GetAddressFields() for more information. The values include a comma-delimited list of input field names which can be used to define field names in an AddressTable containing address information to be geocoded.

Remarks

When submitting an address to geocode, address information will be included in address fields defined by the geocode service. When submitting multiple addresses to geocode using the GeocodeAddresses() method, addresses are included in an AddressTable recordset which can define a field name which maps to an appropriate address field for a geocode service. The GetDefaultInputFieldMapping() method defines the valid field names that can be used.

For example, a geocode service specifies that an address field named "Street" will contain street information and clients may submit address information in an input field named "Address, Street, Strts". If a field in the AddressTable recordset submitted to GeocodeAddresses() is named "Address", "Street", or "Strts", the field contents will be mapped to the address field "Street".

Note:

The GeocodeAddresses() method also permits the client to define a set of custom input field mappings.

Examples

C#

GeocodeService_GeocodeServer geocodeservice = new GeocodeService_GeocodeServer();

geocodeservice.Url = "http://localhost:6080/arcgis/services/GeocodeService/GeocodeServer";

 

PropertySet fieldmapproperties = geocodeservice.GetDefaultInputFieldMapping();

PropertySetProperty[] fieldmaparray = fieldmapproperties.PropertyArray;

 

foreach (PropertySetProperty fieldmapproperty in fieldmaparray)

{

      System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(fieldmapproperty.Key.ToString());

      System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(fieldmapproperty.Value.ToString());

}

VB.NET

Dim geocodeservice As GeocodeService_GeocodeServer = New GeocodeService_GeocodeServer()

geocodeservice.Url = "http://localhost:6080/arcgis/services/GeocodeService/GeocodeServer"

 

Dim fieldmapproperties As PropertySet = geocodeservice.GetDefaultInputFieldMapping()

Dim fieldmaparray() As PropertySetProperty = fieldmapproperties.PropertyArray

Dim fieldmapproperty As PropertySetProperty

 

For Each fieldmapproperty In fieldmaparray

      System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(fieldmapproperty.Key.ToString())

      System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(fieldmapproperty.Value.ToString())
