AzureRouteDataProvider Class
The class that communicates with Azure Maps Route service.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraMap
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraMap.v24.2.dll
#Declaration
public class AzureRouteDataProvider :
AzureMapDataProviderBase
#Remarks
The AzureRouteDataProvider
implements the Azure Maps Route service. Assign such an object to the InformationLayer.DataProvider property to enable the service and allow users to calculate a route on a map.
Azure Maps services support JSON response formats. Install the System.Text.Json
package in projects that target .NET Framework to parse the Azure server response and display information on a DevExpress Map control.
#Calculate a Route Between Locations
Call one of the AzureRouteDataProvider.CalculateRoute method overloads to calculate a route between the specified origin and destination, passing through the selected waypoints.
The AzureRouteOptions
parameter of the AzureRouteDataProvider.CalculateRoute method overload allows you to specify route options.
The following settings are available:
- AzureRouteOptions.TravelMode
- Specifies the transportation / commute mode.
- AzureRouteOptions.MaxAlternatives
- Specifies the number of alternative routes to be calculated.
- AzureRouteOptions.AvoidTypes
- Specifies items that
AzureRouteDataProvider
should try to avoid when calculating the route. - AzureRouteOptions.CustomParameters
- Specifies additional route definitions.
The following example calculates a car-optimized route through the specified waypoints:
using DevExpress.XtraMap;
// ...
const string key = "your key";
// ...
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
MapControl map = new MapControl();
// Specify the map position on the form.
map.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
// Create a layer.
ImageLayer image = new ImageLayer();
image.DataProvider = new AzureMapDataProvider(){
AzureKey = key,
};
AzureRouteDataProvider routeProvider = new AzureRouteDataProvider();
routeProvider.AzureKey = key;
// Create three waypoints and add them to the route waypoints list.
List<RouteWaypoint> waypoints = new List<RouteWaypoint>();
waypoints.Add(new RouteWaypoint("NY", new GeoPoint(41.145556, -73.995)));
waypoints.Add(new RouteWaypoint("Oklahoma", new GeoPoint(36.131389, -95.937222)));
waypoints.Add(new RouteWaypoint("Las Vegas", new GeoPoint(36.175, -115.136389)));
// Call the AzureRouteDataProvider.CalculateRoute method.
azureRoute.CalculateRoute(waypoints, new AzureRouteOptions() {
TravelMode = AzureTravelMode.Car,
AvoidTypes = AzureRouteAvoidType.AlreadyUsedRoads
});
InformationLayer route = new InformationLayer();
route.DataProvider = routeProvider;
map.Layers.AddRange(new LayerBase[] { image, route});
this.Controls.Add(map);
}
#Calculate Routes between GeoPoints Specified on a Map Surface
The following example calculates a route based on two or more RouteWaypoint
objects.
Right-click on a map surface to specify waypoints: origin, destination, and points between. ListBox
entries display geographical points (GeoPoint.Longitude
and GeoPoint.Latitude
). The “Calculate Route” button initiates the routing request by obtaining the waypoint information and passing it to the CalculateRoute
method. The ComboBoxEdit
and CheckedListBox
editors specify route options (AzureRouteOptions.AvoidTypes and AzureRouteOptions.TravelMode properties).

#Obtain Routing Result
The following example displays detailed information about the calculated route:
The button click initiates the routing request. The CalculateRoute
method is called in the button click event handler.
The RouteCalculated
event is handled to process the request result. e.CalculationResult
gets the AzureRouteCalculationResult object that contains the result of the route calculation and allow you to obtain the following information:
An AzureRouteCalculationResult.IntermediatePoints collection. You can obtain the Description and Location of each
RouteWaypoint
in the list.An AzureRouteCalculationResult.RouteResults collection. You can obtain summary information about the route, its legs and sections. For example, TravelLengthMeters, TravelTimeSeconds Arrival and Departure time.
