Map Service ComputeDistance method

Calculates the distance between two points in a map (data frame).

 

ComputeDistance(string MapName, Point FromPoint, Point ToPoint, esriUnits Units)

 

Parameter

Description

MapName

The name of the data frame in the map service.

FromPoint

The starting point in the line. The spatial reference is assumed to be the same as the data frame. 

ToPoint

The ending point in the line. The spatial reference is assumed to be the same as the data frame. 

Units

The unit of measure in which the distance between two points will be returned. 

 

Return Value

 

A double value representing the distance between the FromPoint and ToPoint in the Units defined.

 

Remarks

 

The MapName parameter references a data frame name in the map service associated with the map service proxy. The data frame must have a valid spatial reference. The coordinates defined for the both points in the line assume the data frame's spatial reference.
