ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Tasks Namespace > GeometryService Class : Distance Method

geometry1
The geometry from where the distance is to be measured.
geometry2
The geometry to which the distance is to be measured. The structure of geometry is same as the structure of the JSON geometry objects returned by the ArcGIS REST API. The use of simple syntax is not supported.
parameters
Parameters contains additional properties that defines how the distance task will be preformed.
Calculates the distance between two geometries.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Function Distance( _
   ByVal geometry1 As Geometry, _
   ByVal geometry2 As Geometry, _
   ByVal parameters As DistanceParameters _
) As Double
C# 
public double Distance( 
   Geometry geometry1,
   Geometry geometry2,
   DistanceParameters parameters
)

Parameters

geometry1
The geometry from where the distance is to be measured.
geometry2
The geometry to which the distance is to be measured. The structure of geometry is same as the structure of the JSON geometry objects returned by the ArcGIS REST API. The use of simple syntax is not supported.
parameters
Parameters contains additional properties that defines how the distance task will be preformed.

Return Value

Returns the distance between the indicated geometries, the unit of measurement that the distance is measure is determined by the "distanceUnit" parameter. If "distanceUnit" is not supplied then the resulting distance will be measured in unit of the spatial reference.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 family
