Make the service and call it as needed from your app.
var address = "123 something st, somewhere";
var requestUri = string.Format("
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address={0}&sensor=false";,
Uri.EscapeDataString(address));
var request = WebRequest.Create(requestUri);
var response = request.GetResponse();
var xdoc = XDocument.Load(response.GetResponseStream());
var result = xdoc.Element("GeocodeResponse").Element("result");
var locationElement = result.Element("geometry").Element("location");
var lat = locationElement.Element("lat");
var lng = locationElement.Element("lng");
make address your input param and output lat and lng.
