Remarks
Quality factor an address candidate in the list of matches (if any).
Each address is returned with an assigned quality value that indicates how closely the address candidate matches the search criteria. This is used to rate the submitted address. If the MatchQuality is too low, the class returns the "Address Not Validated" message.
In FedEx, possible values range from 0 to 100, with 100 being the highest and zero indicating failure.
In UPS, this is applicable for a non street-level address validation and/or classification (i.e., when the Address1 is not set in the request). Possible values are:
| Value | Meaning |
| 1.0 | Exact Match - The input address matches an address in the Address Matching Systems database; under the condition where the Address Matching System is able to explicitly differentiate an address from all others in the database. |
| .95-.99 | Very close match |
| .90-.94 | Close match |
| .70-.89 | Possible match |
| .01-.69 | Poor match |
| 0 | No candidates found. The Address Matching System is not able to match the Address from any other one in the database. |
This may be returned in the server response when the ValidateAddress method is called and if the connection to the server is successful (no errors returned).
The size of the array is controlled by the MatchCount property.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
