ISpatialReferenceFactory.CreateParameter Method

Creates a predefined parameter.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function CreateParameter ( _
    ByVal parameterType As Integer _
) As IParameter

[C#]
public IParameter CreateParameter (
    int parameterType
);

[C++]
HRESULT CreateParameter(
  long parameterType,
  IParameter** newParameter
);

[C++]

Parameters
parameterType 
  parameterType is a parameter of type long
newParameter [out, retval]

  newParameter is a parameter of type IParameter

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Description

Use an element from the esriSRParameterType, esriSRParameter2Type, esriSRParameter3Type, or esriSRParameter4Type enumerations as the ParameterType to create a particular predefined parameter.

[C#]

            ISpatialReferenceFactory spatialReferenceFactory=new SpatialReferenceEnvironmentClass(); // Declare an array of IParameters, and for each, create the required Parameter object
            // by using ISpatialReferenceFactory::CreateParamater. Then assign the parameter
            // a value. Below is an example used for a Transverse Mercator projection
            IParameter[] parameterArray=new IParameter[5];
            parameterArray[0]=spatialReferenceFactory.CreateParameter((int)esriSRParameterType.esriSRParameter_FalseEasting);
            parameterArray[0].Value=500000;
            parameterArray[1]=spatialReferenceFactory.CreateParameter((int)esriSRParameterType.esriSRParameter_FalseNorthing);
            parameterArray[1].Value=0;
            parameterArray[2]=spatialReferenceFactory.CreateParameter((int)esriSRParameterType.esriSRParameter_CentralMeridian);
            parameterArray[2].Value=-123;
            parameterArray[3]=spatialReferenceFactory.CreateParameter((int)esriSRParameterType.esriSRParameter_LatitudeOfOrigin);
            parameterArray[3].Value=0;
            parameterArray[4]=spatialReferenceFactory.CreateParameter((int)esriSRParameterType.esriSRParameter_ScaleFactor);
            parameterArray[4].Value=0.9996;
