help geocoding a vb.net dataset

i am looking to map a dataset of addresses on a map.

basically, i want the users to type a street name in my town and be able to see the houses that have signed up already on that street. so a pinpoint should show up on the houses that came up on the dataset.

at first i was thinking of just geocoding all the address and uploading the excel sheet into a database however, this wont work because开发者_开发问答 new signups would then lack longitudes and latitudes

so what i am aiming to do is geocode the addresses on server side and then mapping the geocoded results

The Artem Google Maps control, available on Codeplex.com will let you geocode using the Google Map API from an address. If you have a very large number of records you want to geocode, I recommend MS Mappoint, which has a COM API that can easily be called from .NET.
