.NET

I need to geocode adresses (get lat/long from addresses) using in .Net, to store in the database.

What is the library/project to look into, to get that done?

After a search here, on google and codeplex.com, I have found there to be a few options, that seem like they will do what I ask for... But some of them could be crap and a waste of time - and some might just be stellar.

Which one is the one to go for? Have you used any of them?
