Description

See the table below for a more detailed description of the ConvertLocation parameters.
Parameter                                                                             Description
vValue The input coordinates of the type specified by the iFormat value. The input coordinates must follow a specific format, depending on the coordinate type. See the following examples - DMS: 594200.00N/0101160.00E; UTM: 567536,6618612,32,N; MGRS: 32VNM6753618612.
iFormat The input coordinate type, where 1 = IPoint (decimal degrees), 2 = DMS, 3 = UTM, and 4 = MGRS.
vFromDatum The datum of the input coordinates. The value passed into this parameter can either be a string representing the name of the datum, or a long representing the index of the datum in the coordinate tool's datum list. Both the datum names and the indices can be determined by using the ICoordinateTool::GetDatumList method.
vToDatum The datum of the output coordinates. See the description of vFromDatum for details.
pWGSPoint The output IPoint with x/y coordinates in WGS1984 datum.
pOutPoint The output IPoint with x/y coordinates in the datum specified by the vToDatum parameter.
sDMS The DMS coordinates in the vToDatum.
sUTM The UTM coordinates in the vToDatum.
sMGRS The MGRS coordinates in the vToDatum.
