hi,
I am using .net frame work 4.0,ArcServer 10.0,sql server 2008.
I want to get the cordinates(points) of a circular polyline so that i can store that in sql server .
what is the best way to get these cordinates , curently i m using IPointCollection - this which give two point but both points are same as end point and start point are same.

Thanks in Advance.

I moved this thread here, to ArcObjects SDK, because it appeared to be the most appropriate location. If you feel that's incorrect, please let me know.

I believe you'll have to call IPolycurve's Densify or one of the similar methods that convert the circular arc into a densified line.

What you're seeing is correct. The boundary of a true circle only has two points, the point where it begins and the point where it ends. Because it is a curve there are no points in between. Because it is a circle, the start point and end point have the same coordinates.
