How to get the X,Y Coordinates vertices of selected polygon feature in C#

[worlanyo]

I need help with a sample code to get the X,Y Coordinates of the vertices of a selected polygon feature. I intend to pass this to text elements on the pagelayout control. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Here is a sample that gets you from an IFeature (from a cursor) to a List of all the points (type PointF)...

Hope it helps.

		private void GetVertices(IFeature f)
		{
			IPolygon4 parcel = f.Shape as IPolygon4;
			if (parcel != null)
			{
				List<List<System.Drawing.PointF>> polycoll = new List<List<System.Drawing.PointF>>();
				if (parcel.ExteriorRingCount > 0)
				{
					IGeometryBag exteriorRings = parcel.ExteriorRingBag;
					IEnumGeometry exteriorRingsEnum = exteriorRings as IEnumGeometry;
					exteriorRingsEnum.Reset();
					int ering = 0;
					IRing currentExteriorRing = exteriorRingsEnum.Next() as IRing;
					int extrings = parcel.ExteriorRingCount;
					while (extrings > 0 && currentExteriorRing != null)
					{
						ering++;
						ISegmentCollection segments = currentExteriorRing as ISegmentCollection;

						List<System.Drawing.PointF> spc = ProcessRing(segments);
						if (spc != null)
							polycoll.Add(spc);

						IGeometryBag interiorRings = parcel.InteriorRingBag[currentExteriorRing];
						IEnumGeometry interiorRingsEnum = exteriorRings as IEnumGeometry;
						interiorRingsEnum.Reset();
						int iring = 0;
						IRing currentInteriorRing = exteriorRingsEnum.Next() as IRing;

			//do something with polycoll...
