Checks if the provided bearing (in decimal degrees) is valid, i.e. if it can be used in GIS calculations in the Geodetic coordinate system.

Parameters

bearingInDeg

a bearing (in decimal degrees) to validate

errorMessage

an error message, passed by reference (out), that contains detailed information in case of the invalid bearing

Return Value

true - if the bearing is valid, false - if the bearing is invalid

Remarks

The valid bearing is a real number greater or equal to zero.

Example

This sample shows how to call the Geodetic.IsValidBearingInDeg method from C# code:

string errorMessage = String.Empty;
double bearingInDeg = 78.5;
            
if (Geodetic.IsValidBearingInDeg(bearingInDeg, out errorMessage))
{
    Console.WriteLine("Bearing is valid.");
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine(errorMessage);
}
