Windows Phone 7 Bing Maps

I am attempting to write an app for Windows Phone 7 that connects to the Bing Maps Geocode service to provide latitude and longitude for a given zip code.  The code is attached.

On line 21 (the line that reads):

   GeocodeResponse geocodeResponse = geocodeService.GeocodeAsync(geocodeRequest);


I am getting an error that states:

"Cannot implicitly convert type 'void' to 'WeatherApp.GeocodeService.GeocodeResponse'"

The underlined section is the entire clause after the equal sign.

Any help would be much appreciated.
public string GeocodeAddress(string zipCode)
        {
            string results = "";
            string key = "MyBingMapsKey";
            GeocodeService.GeocodeRequest geocodeRequest = new GeocodeService.GeocodeRequest();

            geocodeRequest.Credentials = new GeocodeService.Credentials();
            geocodeRequest.Credentials.ApplicationId = key;

            geocodeRequest.Query = zipCode;

            ConfidenceFilter[] filters = new ConfidenceFilter[1];
            filters[0] = new ConfidenceFilter();
            filters[0].MinimumConfidence = GeocodeService.Confidence.High;

            GeocodeOptions geocodeOptions = new GeocodeOptions();
            geocodeOptions.Filters = filters;
            geocodeRequest.Options = geocodeOptions;

            GeocodeServiceClient geocodeService = new GeocodeServiceClient();
            GeocodeResponse geocodeResponse = geocodeService.GeocodeAsync(geocodeRequest);

            if (geocodeResponse.Results.Length > 0)
                results = String.Format("Latitude: {0}\nLongitude: {1}",
                  geocodeResponse.Results[0].Locations[0].Latitude,
                  geocodeResponse.Results[0].Locations[0].Longitude);
            else
                results = "No Results Found";

            return results;
        }

There is no return for the Async methods in wp7. You need to attach to the completed event and use the result args from there.

An example of using the Async methodology


geocodeService.ReverseGeocodeCompleted += new EventHandler<ReverseGeocodeCompletedEventArgs>(geocodeService_ReverseGeocodeCompleted);
geocodeService.ReverseGeocodeAsync(reverseGeocodeRequest);

void geocodeService_ReverseGeocodeCompleted(object sender, ReverseGeocodeCompletedEventArgs e)
{
       // The result is a GeocodeResponse object
       GeocodeResponse geocodeResponse = e.Result;

       if (geocodeResponse.Results.Length> 0)
    OutPutText.Text = geocodeResponse.Results[0].DisplayName;
else
    OutPutText.Text = "No Results found";
}
