Note: The page was created before Map Suite 10. Map Suite 10.0 organized many classes into new namespaces and assemblies as well as had a few minor breaks in compatibility. The majority of previously built code should work without modification assuming the new namespaces are added. For guidance on upgrading your existing code, please check out MapSuite 10 Upgrade Guide.
Units describing various ways you can measure lengths.
Length units are most commonly used when calling APIs that measure lengths. Regardless of the unit of measure your shapes are in, many of our APIs allow you to specify what unit of measure you want the result of the method call to be in. For example, you may have a LineShape whose points are in decimal degrees; however, you want to know the length in miles. This is easy to accomplish. Simply call the GetLength method on the LineShape, passing in the first parameter of decimal degrees (which defines what unit the shape is in), and then miles as the length unit you would like the result to be in.
