MAS o Menos

Last weekend I was contacted by a guy in Illinois about my Using Yahoo! Maps GeoCoding API in C# article. In the article I show how to encode a single address using a mapping service provided by Yahoo!. This guy was interested in doing bulk encoding. He wanted to encode 25,000 addresses at time. This is too much work for a web page, but I was interested in helping him. So I wrote my first .NET Windows Console application which calls my previously written code.

The result was I was able to write a program that retrieved the latitude and longitude for 25,000 addresses. Sure beats writing Hello World! as my first command-line application.
