Good morning,

 I've been working at this for a bit and cannot seem to figure out what's going on.  I have a latitude/longitude in decimal degrees that I am trying to add to a feature service from a plugin that I am writing in the Pro SDK.  The resultant point that is created is dropped in the incorrect location (see attachments).  In the Java Runtime, I would just use CoordinateFormatter.fromLatitudeLongitude.

  What did I miss?

Thanks,

Tim

Gary is correct, you have to change your shape's projection to match the projection of your layer:

var mapPointProjected = GeometryEngine.Instance.Project(newMapPoint, testLayer.GetSpatialReference());

then use mapPointProjected as the shape value in your attr dictionary.

I would suggest anytime that a feature is put in the wrong location, to check the coordinate system.  I have seen many times when working with X, Y data initially the data being rendered in odd locations.  Just about every time the issue is the coordinate system is not correct.

Thanks!  That fixed my problem, I thought specifying the SpatialReference in the CreateMapPoint was good enough.
