ISpatialReferenceFactory spatialReferenceFactory = new SpatialReferenceEnvironmentClass(); //Create the datum using the available datums. These can be //found in the esriGeometry esriSRDatumType enumeration. IDatum datum = spatialReferenceFactory.CreateDatum((int)esriSRDatumType.esriSRDatum_NAD1983);

Dim pSpatRefFact As ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.ISpatialReferenceFactory
'Set the spatial reference factory to a new spatial reference environment
pSpatRefFact = New ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.SpatialReferenceEnvironment
Dim pDatum As IDatum
'Create the datum using the available datums. These can be
'found in the esriGeometry esriSRDatumType enumeration.
pDatum = pSpatRefFact.CreateDatum(ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.esriSRDatumType.esriSRDatum_NAD1983)
