Category Property (CoordinateSystemListEntry)

In This Topic

Gets the category of the coordinate system. The category is a string separated by forward slashes. When there is more than one category (or region), the ordering is hierarchical. In other words, the categories in the list are ordered by area from largest to smallest.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public string Category {get;}

Public ReadOnly Property Category As String

Example

Retrieve coordinate systems

// get all the geographic coordinate systems
IReadOnlyList<CoordinateSystemListEntry> gcs_list = GeometryEngine.Instance.GetPredefinedCoordinateSystemList(CoordinateSystemFilter.GeographicCoordinateSystem);

// get the projected coordinate systems
IReadOnlyList<CoordinateSystemListEntry> proj_list = GeometryEngine.Instance.GetPredefinedCoordinateSystemList(CoordinateSystemFilter.ProjectedCoordinateSystem);

// get the vertical coordinate systems
IReadOnlyList<CoordinateSystemListEntry> vert_list = GeometryEngine.Instance.GetPredefinedCoordinateSystemList(CoordinateSystemFilter.VerticalCoordinateSystem);

// get geographic and projected coordinate systems
IReadOnlyList<CoordinateSystemListEntry> combined_list = GeometryEngine.Instance.GetPredefinedCoordinateSystemList(CoordinateSystemFilter.GeographicCoordinateSystem | CoordinateSystemFilter.ProjectedCoordinateSystem);

// investigate one of the entries
CoordinateSystemListEntry entry = gcs_list[0];
int wkid = entry.Wkid;
string category = entry.Category;
string name = entry.Name;
