Returns the decimal degrees description of a point.
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function GetDDFromCoords ( _
ByVal precision As Integer _
) As String
[C#]
public string GetDDFromCoords (
int precision
);
[C++]
HRESULT GetDDFromCoords(
long precision
);
[C++] Parameters precision
precision is a parameter of type long
The GetDDFromCoords method returns a formatted string from a Point that has either geographic or projected coordinates. The Point must have a spatial reference that has a defined coordinate system. The returned values are in decimal degrees and have direction (hemisphere) information. The precision parameter controls the number of decimal places used in the output values. The sample output below has a precision of 6.
longitude = -100.0
latitude = 40.0
Output = "40.000000N 100.000000W"
