 Tips & Tricks

Are you trying to find possible matches for an incorrect address? Here’s a quick, easy method.

If you are using the Address Object Street Data interface to find possible matches for an incorrect address (Multiple Match Errors, Range Errors…), make sure to save some time and effort by taking advantage of the IsAddressInRange2 method.

With this method, you can determine whether a given range falls between the low and high range numbers of a Street Data record. Although this computation may seem like a fairly simple process, this does not take into account alpha-numeric ranges like “105B“ or disjointed ranges like “19 ½.” This method also handles the OddEven flag that is given by Street Data indicating if the record only has odd ranges, even ranges, or both. With this method and the Street Data interface, you can take advantage of the full power of Address Object.
