Measure Tool - How to switch units

Question

Is there some documentation somewhere on using Units and switching between them.

I know there is a unit somewhere in the Spatial Reference.

What I'm trying to do is implement the Measure Tool, but give the user the option to switch Units.

I added combo boxes to my measure tool and bound the area and length for the esri:MeasureAction to the values in the combo boxes.

The Measure action shown in this SDK sample: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#UtilityActions. Use the following units:

http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Behaviors~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Actions.AreaUnit.html

You can google any conversion table that allows you to change from one unit to another 🙂

The are also some Utilities samples you can take a look at: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#AreasAndLengths
