I am working on a tool to convert point to line using ArcObjects in C#. I can understand the arcpy function but is there an example to show how to convert a point layer into a line feature and save as a new line layer? Any code snippet will help.#PointsToLine
This is a portion of the code I used in a tool that converted points (pPointFLayer) to a line (pLineFLayer)

You could call the existing geo-processing tool, that would be easiest. One way to do this is to be using the IGeoProcessor object and call the tool.
Search the API help there are numerous examples of tools being run using this approach.
