I have a layer that contains a polylines. my aim is to create a tool that selects the path from point a in the polyline to point b such that the distance between a and b should be within the range provided by the user. point a is always created based on a user click on the map (remember i am using arcmap).
I have done 90 % of the implementation but I have faced a problem . when i try to measure the distance between point a and any point on the polyline where a lays, using IProximityOperator.ReturnDistance it returns a value in degrees but what I get from the user is may be in miles or feet. the IProximityOperator.ReturnDistance returns a small number less than 1. my question is , is there any way that i can change the degree value i have got in IProximityOperator.ReturnDistance to miles or feet?
