I'm trying to integrate google maps ono my asp.net project and when I converted it to c# it gave me these 2 errors.

Thanks for any help.

string strFullAddress = null;
            string sMapKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("googlemaps.subgurim.net");
            Subgurim.Controles.GeoCode GeoCode = default(Subgurim.Controles.GeoCode);

            // Combine our address fields to create the full address.  The street, suburb and country should be seperated by
            // periods (.)
            strFullAddress = txtStreetAddress.Text + ". " + txtSuburb.Text + ". " + txtCountry.Text;

            // Work out the longitude and latitude
            GeoCode = GMap1.geoCodeRequest(strFullAddress, sMapKey);            Subgurim.Controles.GLatLng gLatLng = new Subgurim.Controles.GLatLng(GeoCode.Placemark.coordinates.lat, GeoCode.Placemark.coordinates.lng);

            // Display the map
            GMap1.setCenter(gLatLng, 16, Subgurim.Controles.GMapType.GTypes.Normal);
            Subgurim.Controles.GMarker oMarker = new Subgurim.Controles.GMarker(gLatLng);
            GMap1.addGMarker(oMarker);

Can you update the body of your question to include the errors as well?

the first code i underlined says "Non-invocable member'System.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings' cannot be used like method".
And the second underlined part says "Member'Subgruim.Controles.GeoCodeRequest(string, string)'cannot be accessed with an instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead"

Okay the first error is easy enough to correct, use square brackets to access the index of an item by its string key:

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["googlemaps.subgurim.net"]

The second error, while I understand it, I don't know the library used to wrap Google API objects well enough to know how to fix it. It's telling you to use the method directly off the library type, not of the object you've created. So try this instead:

GeoCode = Subgruim.Controles.geoCodeRequest(strFullAddress, sMapKey);

Cheers.
