Syntax
Copy
public static uint ExportPoints(
	string pointFileFullName,
	PointFileFormat fileFormat,
	bool useAdjustedElevation,
	bool shouldTransformCoordinate,
	bool shouldExpandCoordinateData
)

Parameters

pointFileFullName  String
The full path and name of the point file.
fileFormat  PointFileFormat
The file format for the point file. You can get a collection of supported point file formats by using GetPointFileFormats.
useAdjustedElevation  Boolean
Specifies whether to adjust the point elevation values.
shouldTransformCoordinate  Boolean
Specifies whether to transform the points in the file.
shouldExpandCoordinateData  Boolean
Specifies whether to calculate the coordinate data properties of the points, such as degrees, minutes, seconds, and hemisphere for latitude and longitude.

Return Value

UInt32
The count of CogoPoints that were exported.
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException Thrown when the directory for pointFileFullName does not exist.
InvalidOperationException Thrown when there is an internal error.
Remarks
  1. useAdjustedElevation and shouldExpandCoordinateData are disregarded if they are not supported by the specified point file format.
  2. If the file specified by pointFileFullName already exists, it is overwritten.
  3. If the file specified by pointFileFullName does not exist, it is created automatically.
