X, Y Coordinates shown but can't be grabbed

Question

Howdy,

I'm trying to query a feature layer that I got added succesfully into a map.
My program is very much like that of the sample program on ESRI tutorial page, query a map feature layer: https://developers.arcgis.com/net/query/tutorials/query-a-feature-layer-sql/

I'm not using the sample's provided parcel endpoint, I've supplied my own feature service REST API endpoint.

The query went through and returned about some hundred of points. The issue is I can't seem to grab the X and Y even though they are shown clearly in the debug window under Geometry. Only a handful of properties such as HasM, HasZ, HasCurves shown up in the context menu/visual-studio IntelliSense.

I couldn't help but am thinking this may be a known bug ? [as it happened to a software vendor our company had before and it didn't get fixed until later version] or am I missing something? Can you please help me straighten this up?

Such a torture I can't extract the coordinates - using a simple foreach loop - knowing they're there.

// Query the table and get the list of features in the result.
var queryResult = await featureTableToQuery.QueryFeaturesAsync(queryParams);

// Loop over each feature from the query result.
foreach (Feature feature in queryResult)
{
      double tempX = feature.Geometry.X // error
      bool tempChecked = feature.Geometry.HasZ // okay
      // Select each feature.
      // featureLayerToQuery!.SelectFeature(feature);

}

Thank you.

The feature query returns "Geometry" which is the baseclass of "MapPoint", since it could have been a polygon or polyline. So you first need to cast it to MapPoint:

double tempX = ((MapPoint)feature.Geometry).X;

By default you're getting coordinates in the projection of your map - which is probably WebMercator.

In the query you can set the output spatial reference, by setting the OutSpatialReference on your QueryParameters: https://developers.arcgis.com/net/api-reference/api/net/Esri.ArcGISRuntime/Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Data.QueryParameters.OutSpatialReference.html

You can also use the GeometryEngine to project coordinates. For instance:

var newGeometry = GeometryEngine.Project(feature.Geometry, SpatialReference.Create(4269));

Hello -  I tried to appy the SpatialReference.Create(4269) a to queryExtent.Geometry b, although it shows X, Y got affected by the GeometryEngine.Project (a, b) statement, it does nothing when being passed in the QueryParameters constructor to build the query param. Looks like queryExtend.Geometry got ignored.

It looks like I will have to issue a GeometryEngine.Project (a, b); for every feature per ilteration in the for loop. Thank you though.
