Description
Use an element from the esriSRGeoCSType, esriSRGeoCS2Type, or esriSRGeoCS3Type enumerations as the gcsType to create a particular predefined geographic coordinate system.
Remarks
The example code shows how to create an object that represents the WGS 1984 geographic coordinate system.
ISpatialReferenceFactory spatialReferenceFactory = new SpatialReferenceEnvironmentClass();
//Create a geographic coordinate system using the available geographic
//coordinate systems. These can be found in the esriGeometry esriSRGeoCSType
//enumeration.
IGeographicCoordinateSystem geographicCoordinateSystem = spatialReferenceFactory.CreateGeographicCoordinateSystem((int)esriSRGeoCSType.esriSRGeoCS_WGS1984);
Dim pSpatRefFact As ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.ISpatialReferenceFactory
'Set the spatial reference factory to a new spatial reference environment
pSpatRefFact = New ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.SpatialReferenceEnvironment
Dim pGCS As ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IGeographicCoordinateSystem
'Create a geographic coordinate system using the available geographic
'coordinate systems. These can be found in the esriGeometry esriSRGeoCSType
'enumeration.
pGCS = pSpatRefFact.CreateGeographicCoordinateSystem(ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.esriSRGeoCSType.esriSRGeoCS_WGS1984)
