====== ThinkGeo Cloud .NET SDK ======
ThinkGeo Cloud .NET SDK helps developers use the ThinkGeo Cloud APIs in their .NET applications. You can use ThinkGeo Cloud APIs through standard RESTful API calls from any platform or any language and while you aren't required to use this SDK it will make the job easier when used in conjunction with ThinkGeo Cloud on a .NET project. 

Check out this [[ThinkGeo Cloud .NET SDK Quick Start Guide|Quick Start Guide]] to get started. 

==== APIs ====

ThinkGeo Cloud .NET SDK wraps all the [[https://cloud.thinkgeo.com/help/|ThinkGeo Cloud RESTful APIs]] and makes it simpler to use for a .NET project. The complete APIs are listed [[thinkgeo_cloud_.net_client_apis|here]] and below are code snippets as samples:
 
=== Elevation ===
<code csharp>
ElevationClient elevationClient = new ElevationClient(clientId, clientSecret);
var response = elevationClient.GetElevationOfLineAsync(line, 3857, numberOfSegments: pointNumber, elevationUnit: DistanceUnit.Meter);
</code>

=== Geocoding ===
<code csharp>
GeocodingClient geocodingClient = new GeocodingClient(clientId, clientSecret);
var result = geocodingClient.SearchAsync(searchText, options);
</code>

=== Reverse Geocoding ===
<code csharp>
ReverseGeocodingClient reverseGeocodingClient = new ReverseGeocodingClient(clientId, clientSecret);
ReverseGeocodingResult searchResult = await reverseGeocodingClient.SearchPointAsync(searchPoint.X, searchPoint.Y, 3857, searchRadius, DistanceUnit.Meter, reverseGeocodingOption);
</code>
=== Color ===
<code csharp>
ColorClient colorClient = new ColorClient(clientId, clientSecret);
var hueColors = colorClient.GetColorsInHueFamily(specifiedColor, numberOfColors);
</code>
=== Projection ===
<code csharp>
ProjectionClient projectionClient = new ProjectionClient(clientId, clientSecret);
var projectedFeature = projectionClient.Project(feature, fromSrid, toSrid);
</code>
=== Raster and Vector Tile===
<code csharp>
MapsClient client = new MapsClient(clientId, clientSecret);
Stream imageStream = client.GetRasterTile(z, x, y, projection, mapType, tileSize, tileResolution);
Task<Stream> task = client.GetRasterTileAsync(z, x, y, projection, mapType, tileSize, tileResolution);
</code>

Not only we have APIs to get one single Vector Tile or Raster Tile, but we also provide a much simpler way in ThinkGeo UI Components as following to render the tiles on the map. Here below is an example for rending RasterTiles on a Desktop map (WPF):

<code csharp>
ThinkGeoCloudMapsOverlay backgroundMap = new ThinkGeoCloudMapsOverlay(clientId, clientSecret);
</code>

Below is an example of rending Vector Tiles on a Desktop map (WPF)

==== Samples ====
The following samples work in all of the Map Suite controls such as WPF, Web, MVC, WebApi, Android and iOS.

=== Elevation ===
This Sample demonstrates how you can use ThinkGeo Cloud to get elevation data from ThinkGeo's GIS Server and it also shows the elevation data of a road in the form of a line chart.

=== Geocoding ===
This Sample demonstrates how you can use ThinkGeo Cloud to convert a geographic location into meaningful addresses from ThinkGeo's GIS Server. It ships with an optimized set of worldwide coverage of cities and towns but any customized data can be supported as well.

=== Reverse Geocoding ===
This Sample demonstrates how you can use ThinkGeo Cloud to acquire an address from a set of location coordinates.  It ships with an optimized set of worldwide coverage of cities and towns but any customized data can be supported as well.

=== Color Generator ===
This Sample demonstrates how you can use ThinkGeo Cloud to generate sets of related colors ideal for customizing map themes and enhancing other visual elements of your mapping projects.
