Description

Use an element from the esriSRParameterTypeesriSRParameter2Type, esriSRParameter3Type, or esriSRParameter4Type enumerations as the ParameterType to create a particular predefined parameter.

[C#]

            ISpatialReferenceFactory spatialReferenceFactory = new SpatialReferenceEnvironmentClass(); // Declare an array of IParameters, and for each, create the required Parameter object
            // by using ISpatialReferenceFactory::CreateParamater. Then assign the parameter
            // a value. Below is an example used for a Transverse Mercator projection
            IParameter[] parameterArray = new IParameter[5];
            parameterArray[0] = spatialReferenceFactory.CreateParameter((int)esriSRParameterType.esriSRParameter_FalseEasting);
            parameterArray[0].Value = 500000;
