GeoPositionStatus

Fields

Name	Value	Description
Ready	0	A location provider is ready to supply new data.
Initializing	1	The location provider is initializing. For example, a GPS that is still obtaining a fix has this status.
NoData	2	No location data is available from any location provider. If the conditions for Disabled do not apply, GeoCoordinateWatcher has the NoData status before it is started and after it is stopped.
Disabled	3	The location provider is disabled. On Windows 7, this is the case when the Sensor and Location platform has been disabled by group policy.

Examples

The following example shows how to handle StatusChanged events and print out the current GeoPositionStatus.

using System;
using System.Device.Location;
namespace ShowStatusUpdates
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            ShowStatusUpdates();
        }

        static void ShowStatusUpdates()
        {
            GeoCoordinateWatcher watcher = new GeoCoordinateWatcher();
            watcher.Start();

            watcher.StatusChanged += new EventHandler<GeoPositionStatusChangedEventArgs>(watcher_StatusChanged);

            Console.WriteLine("Enter any key to quit.");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        static void watcher_StatusChanged(object sender, GeoPositionStatusChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            switch (e.Status)
            {
                case GeoPositionStatus.Initializing:
                    Console.WriteLine("Working on location fix");
                    break;

                case GeoPositionStatus.Ready:
                    Console.WriteLine("Have location");
                    break;

                case GeoPositionStatus.NoData:
                    Console.WriteLine("No data");
                    break;

                case GeoPositionStatus.Disabled:
                    Console.WriteLine("Disabled");
                    break;
            }
        }
    }
}
