    NetTopologySuite is popular .NET port of the JTS Topology Suite, though I have not used this. SharpMap is another popular mapping library, though it looks like active development on this may have slowed down. Also, not surprisingly, Bing Maps has quite a few .NET libraries.

    We already did a lot, but in order to do more we have to introduce dedicated library/package. In dotnet it is NetTopologySuite. You can achieve a lot from the geospatial perspective with this library, here we just want to get centroids for polygons. Additionally I'm getting rid of unwanted properties, keeping only street, number and city.
