Latitude and Longitude Lookup with jQuery, C#, ASP.NET MVC

This asp.net mvc controller action returns a place latitude and longitude based on zipcode and country name,



public ActionResult LookupCoordinates(string Zip, string Country)
{
    string Lat = "";
    string Lon = "";
    string PostUrl = "http://ws.geonames.org/postalCodeSearch?postalcode=" + Zip + "&maxRows=10&country=" + Country;
    WebResponse webResponse = webRequest.GetResponse();
    if (webResponse == null)
    { }
    else
    {
        StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream());
        string Result = sr.ReadToEnd().Trim();
        if (Result != "")
        {
            // Load the response into an XML doc
            XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
            xdoc.LoadXml(Result);
            //  Navigate to latitude node
            XmlNodeList name = xdoc.GetElementsByTagName("lat");
            if (name.Count > 0)
            {
                Lat = name[0].InnerText;
            }
            //  Navigate to longitude node
            name = xdoc.GetElementsByTagName("lng");
            if (name.Count > 0)
            {
                 Lon = name[0].InnerText;
            }
        }
    }
    return Json(Lat + "," + Lon);
}


and the jquery function for implementing this would be,
function LookupCoordinates(zip) {
        $.post("/Home/LookupCoordinates",
        { Zip: zip, Country: "US" },
        function(data) {
            var result = eval('(' + data + ')');
            var coordinates = result.split(",");
            $("#Lat").val(coordinates[0]);
            $("#Lon").val(coordinates[1]);
        });
    }

  2. If your οven thermometeг does not match your oven temperature
    sеtting, you will want tο have your oνen сalibrаtеd.
    After you've got the crust rolled out, transfer it to your pan or pizza stone. (only because they moaned about eating their veggies).
