Thanks in advance,

I am using vb.net 4.0 to use google maps, I want to get geo coordinates from address
so i can pass them to Web browser control which will invoke Java script
which has following function (working fine) , I want to show map using street address, so i need to convert street address to lat and long

function Initialize(zoomLevel, lat, lng, type) {
   var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
    var myOptions = { zoom: zoomLevel, center: myLatlng, mapTypeId: MapType };
    var MarkerSize = new google.maps.Size(48, 48);
    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
}

I had seen some other examples but they show Panel and Google other menus as well, any help will be appreciated.
