Rewrite part of javascript with C#

I'm writing this program in C# which should display Google Maps. I'm using the Google Maps JavaScript API which is the best one I could find. With the program you should be able to search for places.

The code:

window.onload = function() {

    var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(52.785804, 6.897585);
    var options = {
        zoom: 15,
        center: latlng,
        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    };
    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), options);
}
html, body {
    margin: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
}

#map {
    width: 80%;
    height: 100%;
}

    <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false" type="text/javascript"></script>

</head>

<body>
    <div id="map">
    </div>
</body>

</html>

Am I in some way able to edit the latlng using C#? Or does someone know an alternative way to use the Google Maps API with C#?

Solution

  • If you are not using MVC or other server side technologies on this specific page your only option would be to load the lat/long from an AJAX call.

    $.ajax({
    url: "url/to/your/api/that/returns/lat/long",
    success: function(result) {
        // process your JSON result and set the lat/long
    }
});

    the API can be written on the server side using any language (including c#)
