Parses latitude from the provided string, assuming that the DecimalDegrees (DD) format is in use.

Parameters

str

a string to be parsed

latInDeg

the parsed latitude in decimal degrees, passed by reference (out)

errorMessage

an error message, passed by reference (out), that contains detailed error / warning information

Return Value

true - the function has succeeded, false - it has failed

Remarks

The function verifies validity of its arguments and parsing results. The function recognizes the DecimalDegrees (DD) format, for example: 38.889139;.

Example

This sample shows how to call the Mercator.ParseLatitudeInDeg method from C# code:

 string errorMessage = String.Empty;
 
 string str = "38.889139;";
 double latInDeg = Double.NaN;

 if (Mercator.ParseLatitudeInDeg(str, out latInDeg, out errorMessage))
 {
     Console.WriteLine("LatInDeg: " + latInDeg.ToString());
 }
 else
 {
     Console.WriteLine(errorMessage);
 }
