Find Latitude and Longitude of a System C#

Find Latitude and Longitude of a System C# 

I'm share the topic of how to find out Latitude and longitude of a system by win form in  C#.

Some points here: 

1. This only works in .NET Framework 4.0 or later and Windows 7 or later.
   
   
   
2. The Location API is defined in the System.Device DLL so add a reference to that library. The code includes the following using directive to make using the Location API easier. 
   

C#(Code).....

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using System.Device.Location;

namespace Find_Latitude_and_Longitude_of_a_System

{

 

    public partial class Form1 : Form

    {

     private string latitude; 

            private string longitute; 

     private GeoCoordinateWatcher watcher = new GeoCoordinateWatcher(); 

        public Form1()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

                            watcher = new GeoCoordinateWatcher(); 

         // Catch the StatusChanged event. 

                   watcher.StatusChanged += Watcher_StatusChanged; 

                // Start the watcher. 

                           watcher.Start(); 

        }

        private void Watcher_StatusChanged(object sender, GeoPositionStatusChangedEventArgs e) // Find GeoLocation of Device 

        {

            try

            {

                if (e.Status == GeoPositionStatus.Ready)

                {

                    // Display the latitude and longitude. 

                    if (watcher.Position.Location.IsUnknown)

                    {

                        latitude = "0";

                        longitute = "0";

                    }

                    else

                    {

                        latitude = watcher.Position.Location.Latitude.ToString();

                        longitute = watcher.Position.Location.Longitude.ToString();

                    }

                }

                else

                {

                    latitude = "0";

                    longitute = "0";

                }

            }

            catch (Exception)

            {

                latitude = "0";

                longitute = "0";

            }

        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

                            textBox1.Text = latitude; 

                            textBox2.Text = longitute; 

       

        }

    }
