Declaration
public static string ToLatitudeLongitude(MapPoint point, LatitudeLongitudeFormat format, int decimalPlaces)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MapPoint | point | The location to be represented as a formatted latitude-longitude string. It must have a SpatialReference set. |
| LatitudeLongitudeFormat | format | The LatitudeLongitudeFormat to use for the latitude-longitude string. |
| System.Int32 | decimalPlaces | The number of decimal places to use. Value is expected to be between 0 to 16 (inclusive), and will be clamped if necessary. |
Returns
| Type | Description |

Remarks
The latitude-longitude string contains a space separating the latitude from the longitude value.
The characters 'N' or 'S', and 'E' or 'W' indicate the hemisphere of each value.
The string also contains spaces separating the components (degrees, minutes, seconds) of each value.
The precision of the output is controlled by both the format and
decimalPlaces parameters. For example:
