IGeometryServer2.GetDistance Method

Reports shortest distance between G1 and G2.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function GetDistance ( _
    ByVal pSR As ISpatialReference, _
    ByVal pG1 As IGeometry, _
    ByVal pG2 As IGeometry, _
    ByVal pDistanceUnit As ILinearUnit _
) As Double
[C#]
public double GetDistance (
    ISpatialReference pSR,
    IGeometry pG1,
    IGeometry pG2,
    ILinearUnit pDistanceUnit
);
[C++]
HRESULT GetDistance(
  ISpatialReference* pSR,
  IGeometry* pG1,
  IGeometry* pG2,
  ILinearUnit* pDistanceUnit,
  double* pDistance
);
[C++]

Parameters

pSR

  pSR is a parameter of type ISpatialReference

pG1

  pG1 is a parameter of type IGeometry

pG2

  pG2 is a parameter of type IGeometry

pDistanceUnit

  pDistanceUnit is a parameter of type ILinearUnit

pDistance [out, retval]   pDistance is a parameter of type double

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Remarks

The distance value is computed in the specified linear units, if present, or in the units of the spatial reference.   It is not recommended that this method be used on geometries with lat-long coordinates. Use GetDistanceGeodesic instead.
