Example

C++

Copy

double angleRatio = Math.PI / 180;   // ratio of Angle

// Get the Latitude information
double latiude = city.Latitude / angleRatio;
String latiudeInfo = "Latitude:      " + latiude.ToString();

// Get the Longitude information
double longitude = city.Longitude / angleRatio;
String longitudeInfo = "Longitude:   " + longitude.ToString();

// Get the TimeZone information
String timeZoneInfo = "TimeZone:   " + city.TimeZone.ToString();

// Set the information text box.
string cityInfo = latiudeInfo + "\n" + longitudeInfo
                            + "\n" + timeZoneInfo;

Dim angleRatio As Double = Math.PI / 180
' ratio of Angle
' Get the Latitude information
Dim latiude As Double = city.Latitude / angleRatio
Dim latiudeInfo As [String] = "Latitude:      " & latiude.ToString()

' Get the Longitude information
Dim longitude As Double = city.Longitude / angleRatio
Dim longitudeInfo As [String] = "Longitude:   " & longitude.ToString()

' Get the TimeZone information
Dim timeZoneInfo As [String] = "TimeZone:   " & city.TimeZone.ToString()

' Set the information text box.
Dim cityInfo As String = latiudeInfo & vbLf & longitudeInfo & vbLf & timeZoneInfo
