EditGeometry for Points

Question

Hello all,

I'm trying to use the EditGeometry class to edit the geometry of a Point Feature on my FeatureLayer.  Specifically, I only need to move the point a couple of inches.  More times than not, it'll also only be in one direction.  For instance, I might need to shift a point 2 inches along the Y-axis,  but leave the X-axis alone.

Because the measurements have to be as precise as I can make them, I'm trying to use EditGeometry as opposed to the EditVertices tool on the Editor Widget. Is this the correct tool to be using?  Or should I try and do this through a WCF service instead?

Thanks for the assistance,
Will

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing.  My confusion was when I was trying to edit the existing geometry of a point instead of setting the geometry to a new point.  Simple mistake that I should have seen, but for some reason I completely missed it.

Thanks for the asisstance,
Will

If you know the new geometry (X,Y), you can just set graphic.Geometry = new MapPoint(X, Y, MyMap.SpatialReference); You don't need to handle MouseMove.

That was the sample I was looking at initially.  It looks like I'm not going to be able to use EditGeometry then if it does not work with Points.  The geometry edits I need to make are too small and precise to do by dragging the point with the mouse.  Guess I'll try a WCF service.

Thanks,
Will
