Hello,

I am working on a module that has a location, and was wondering what the most standard way of implementing this is.

I noticed there is an Address.vb class (mentioned in the Module Dev Guide) that handles Street, Country etc. I think this would be a good place to start? I was just wondering if the new profile stuff uses this control as you can set fields to be invisible (eg. "unit") - or is it handcoded in the core profile code? I also noticed a CountryList class that looks interesting.

I would like to make this as standard as possible so that I can keep up with any changes (maybe integration with the core mapping module at some point) - has anyone got any advice on the best way of using this in a module?

I was going to have a Country list that read off the core Country List and store that as a CountryID in my module table, and store the rest of the fields (street, city etc) as NVARCHARS...

this is what i did:

                Dim country As String = objPPUser.Profile.Country
                If country = "United States" Then
                    country = String.Empty

                    Dim objCityInfo As OTBRadio.User.Entities.CityInfo = UserBase.GetCityByZipCode(CInt(objPPUser.Profile.PostalCode))

                    If objCityInfo Is Nothing Then
                        lblLocation.Text = "Not a valid zipcode"
                    Else
                        lblLocation.Text = objCityInfo.City & ", " & objCityInfo.StateAbbr
                    End If

                Else
                    lblLocation.Text = objPPUser.Profile.City & ", " & objPPUser.Profile.Region & country
                End If
