Returns the name of the Unit used internally.

Namespace:  ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Geometry

Assembly:  ESRI.ArcGISExplorer (in ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.dll) Version: 2.0.0.1500 (2.0.0.1500)

Syntax

C#
public string Name { get; }
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public ReadOnly Property Name As String

Field Value

A String containing the name of the Unit.

Remarks

The Name property returns a string indicating the name used internally for the specified Unit and is used in .prj files. The Name property is not ideal for displaying units to the user as it may contain underscores or other formatting; if you wish to display the units being used in a user interface, you should use either the GetDisplayName(UnitNameOptions) or GetPluralName(UnitNameOptions) method instead.

Examples

The code below uses .NET reflection to find all of the nested type initializers that create new Unit objects, and then creates an instance of each type of Unit. It then reports on the units by writing to the Debug window using Name property (and Id property where applicable), listing linear, angular and area units separately.

// Get all the different types of Linear units.
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[] linearProps = typeof(Unit.Linear).GetProperties(System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Static);

// Report linear units.
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Linear Units are:");
foreach (System.Reflection.PropertyInfo prop in linearProps)
{
    Unit u = prop.GetValue(null, null) as Unit;
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(u.Name + "(" + u.Id.ToString() + ")");
}

// Get all the different types of angular units.
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[] angularProps = typeof(Unit.Angular).GetProperties(System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Static);

// Report angular units.
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Angular Units are:");
foreach (System.Reflection.PropertyInfo prop in angularProps)
{
    Unit u = prop.GetValue(null, null) as Unit;
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(u.Name + "(" + u.Id.ToString() + ")");
}

// Get all the different types of area units.
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[] areaProps = typeof(Unit.Area).GetProperties(System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Static);

// Report area units.
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Area Units are:");
foreach (System.Reflection.PropertyInfo prop in areaProps)
{
    Unit u = prop.GetValue(null, null) as Unit;
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(u.Name); // Area units do not have identifiers.
