Question

I’m trying to make an application in Windows 8 that can locate the user’s location. for this I have the following class

public sealed partial class Cercano : CentrosCo.Common.LayoutAwarePage
{
    Geolocator geo = null;
    public Cercano()
    {
        this.InitializeComponent();
    }

    public async void button1_Click(
        object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (geo == null)
        {
            geo = new Geolocator();
        }

        IGeoposition pos = await geo.GetGeopositionAsync();
        textLatitude.Text = "Latitude: " + pos.Coordinate.Latitude.ToString();
        textLongitude.Text = "Longitude: " + pos.Coordinate.Longitude.ToString();
        textAccuracy.Text = "Accuracy: " + pos.Coordinate.Accuracy.ToString();
    }

In IGeoposition get the error:

Windows.Devices.Geolocation.IGeoposition is inaccesible due to its potection level,

Select location already in the manifesto …

Answer 1

The async return type of the Geolocator.GetGeopositionAsync() Method is Geoposition, not IGeoposition.

Try this:

Geoposition pos = await geo.GetGeopositionAsync();
