ConvertTo(Double,LinearUnit) Method
Example 

ArcGIS.Core.Geometry Namespace > LinearUnit Class : ConvertTo(Double,LinearUnit) Method
Distance in the units of this instance.
Unit to convert to.
Converts a value in the unit of this instance to the provided linear unit.
Syntax
public double ConvertTo( 
   double inDistance,
   LinearUnit outUnit
)
Public Function ConvertTo( _
   ByVal inDistance As Double, _
   ByVal outUnit As LinearUnit _
) As Double

Parameters

inDistance
Distance in the units of this instance.
outUnit
Unit to convert to.

Return Value

Distance converted to the specified unit.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
The outUnit is null.
Example
// convert 11 centimeters to millimeters
double mm = LinearUnit.Centimeters.ConvertTo(11, LinearUnit.Millimeters);

// convert the result back to centimeters
double cm = LinearUnit.Millimeters.ConvertTo(mm, LinearUnit.Centimeters);

// convert the millimeter result back to meters
double meters = LinearUnit.Millimeters.ConvertToMeters(mm);
// create a custom linear unit - there are 0.33 meters per myLinearUnit
var myLinearUnit = LinearUnit.CreateLinearUnit("myCustomLinearUnit", 0.33);
string name = myLinearUnit.Name;                          // myCustomLinearUnit
double convFactor = myLinearUnit.ConversionFactor;        // 0.33
int code = myLinearUnit.FactoryCode;                      // 0 for custom units
double metersUnit = myLinearUnit.MetersPerUnit;           // 0.33
string toString = myLinearUnit.ToString();                // same as Name - myCustomLinearUnit

// convert 10 centimeters to myLinearUnit 
double convertedVal = LinearUnit.Centimeters.ConvertTo(10, myLinearUnit);


// get the wkt
string lu_wkt = myLinearUnit.Wkt;

// create an angular unit from this wkt
var anotherLinearUnit = LinearUnit.CreateLinearUnit(lu_wkt);
// anotherLinearUnit.ConversionFactor = 0.33
// anotherLinearUnit.FactoryCode = 0    
// anotherLinearUnit.MetersPerUnit = 0.33
