New Post: Using MapPointBatcHGeocode for ESRI's MapIt

The DataSourceName, etc. input column properties refer to user variable names. The drop-down lists will be empty if you haven't defined any variables.

There is a notice on the MapPoint Customer Services site that says:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: MapPoint Web Service will be discontinued on November 18, 2011.

It links to http://www.microsoft.com/maps/mappoint.aspx for information about migrating code to use Bing Maps.

Hello, I downloaded this project yesterday, opened a developer account in Bing maps and tried the SSIS project that tests the component. I have been able to get only one result in 21 attempts, the one result I got back was when running only for one record, using Adventure works; here is the result: <encoding name='ISO-8859-1'> EntityID(long),AddressLine(String),PrimaryCity(String),Subdivision(String),PostalCode(String),CountryRegion(String),Phone(String),Latitude(double),Longitude(double),MatchCode(String),MatchedMethod(String),MatchedAddress(String),EditedLocationUTC(string),EditedPropertyUTC(string),InputModified(String) 21640,1080 quai de Grenelle,Saint Ouen,,17490,,,0,0,Bad,,,,, So this tells me my account works, well, but that was just one time yesterday and when I try to rerun even for the same address I keep getting this error: Error: 0xC0047062 at Test MapPoint Batch Geocoder, MapPoint Batch Geocoder [459]: System.ApplicationException: Failed to execute MapPoint command StartDownload after 20 attempts. ---> System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: An internal server error occurred (2QXA9E8XRR3FVU:D644F5A8:WUVX). Do you know if there is something going on with the service? I am using Staging. Thanks, Anibal.

New Post: MapPoint Batch Geocoder [33]: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

In SSIS 2008 Data Flow when I execute the package the Source goes Green and 145 rows were extracted.

But the MapPointBatchGeocoder goes Red and I get the following entries in my Output log. Can anyone tell me what's happening?

I've even tried making the Source a view with "where NOT NULL" on every column to make sure that the source data does not contain any NULLs, but I'm still getting a NullReferenceException.

Thanks,

A bit rusty with geocoding, and never was that proficient. In any event, here's my issues:

1) I can't fill in anything for MapPoint DataSourceName, MapPoint Password, MapPoint UserName, MapPoint UserStaging -- I get a drop down list option, but the drop down list is blank and I can't type anyting in.

2) I see where the output is SqlGeography, I understand that ESRI MapIt is looking for a Geometry data type.

3) Maybe I missed it, but it would be great to get a step-by-step, hello world kind of example.

4) I don't have city names, but I do have zip codes -- good enough to get a Geometry point?

Thanks and appreciate the effort for an SSIS geocoder.
