IGeometryServer.FindUnitsByWKID Method

Defines a unit object based upon its well known identified (WKID). 'authority' is typically either 'EPSG' or 'ESRI'.

Public Function FindUnitsByWKID ( _
    ByVal authority As String, _
    ByVal WKID As Integer _
) As IUnit

[C#]

    string authority,
    int WKID
);

[C++]
HRESULT FindUnitsByWKID(
  BSTR authority,
  long WKID,
  IUnit** ppU
);

[C++]
Parameters
authority 
  authority is a parameter of type BSTR
WKID 
  WKID is a parameter of type long
ppU [out, retval]
  ppU is a parameter of type IUnit

Remarks

Finds a predefined linear or angular unit of measure based on its OGP/EPSG well known identifier (WKID, also referred to as factory code). AuthorityName is optional. If specified, it is usually either "EPSG" or "ESRI", but can also be an arbitrary string. As with spatial references, only the WKID value is used to locate the predefined unit. The WKIDs for predefined linear and angular units are listed here: esriSRUnit2Type,  esriSRUnitType.

The Unit returned is often used in other Geometry service methods such as Buffer.
