Declaration
public static string ToLatitudeLongitude(MapPoint point, LatitudeLongitudeFormat format, int decimalPlaces)
Parameters
Type Name Description
MapPoint point

The location to be represented as a formatted latitude-longitude string. It must have a SpatialReference set.
LatitudeLongitudeFormat format

The LatitudeLongitudeFormat to use for the latitude-longitude string.
System.Int32 decimalPlaces

The number of decimal places to use. Value is expected to be between 0 to 16 (inclusive), and will be clamped if necessary.
Returns
Type Description
System.String

A string representing the latitude-longitude of the given MapPoint.
Remarks

The latitude-longitude string contains a space separating the latitude from the longitude value. The characters 'N' or 'S', and 'E' or 'W' indicate the hemisphere of each value. The string also contains spaces separating the components (degrees, minutes, seconds) of each value. The precision of the output is controlled by both the format and decimalPlaces parameters. For example:
