C# Point in polygon

I've checked codes here and all have problems.

The best method is:

    /// <summary>
    /// Determines if the given point is inside the polygon
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="polygon">the vertices of polygon</param>
    /// <param name="testPoint">the given point</param>
    /// <returns>true if the point is inside the polygon; otherwise, false</returns>
    public static bool IsPointInPolygon4(PointF[] polygon, PointF testPoint)
    {
        bool result = false;
        int j = polygon.Count() - 1;
        for (int i = 0; i < polygon.Count(); i++)
        {
            if (polygon[i].Y < testPoint.Y && polygon[j].Y >= testPoint.Y || polygon[j].Y < testPoint.Y && polygon[i].Y >= testPoint.Y)
            {
                if (polygon[i].X + (testPoint.Y - polygon[i].Y) / (polygon[j].Y - polygon[i].Y) * (polygon[j].X - polygon[i].X) < testPoint.X)
                {
                    result = !result;
                }
            }
            j = i;
        }
        return result;
    }

The accepted answer did not work for me in my project. I ended up using the code found here.

public static bool IsInPolygon(Point[] poly, Point p)
{
    Point p1, p2;
    bool inside = false;

    if (poly.Length < 3)
    {
        return inside;
    }

    var oldPoint = new Point(
        poly[poly.Length - 1].X, poly[poly.Length - 1].Y);

    for (int i = 0; i < poly.Length; i++)
    {
        var newPoint = new Point(poly[i].X, poly[i].Y);

        if (newPoint.X > oldPoint.X)
        {
            p1 = oldPoint;
            p2 = newPoint;
        }
        else
        {
            p1 = newPoint;
            p2 = oldPoint;
        }

        if ((newPoint.X < p.X) == (p.X <= oldPoint.X)
            && (p.Y - (long) p1.Y)*(p2.X - p1.X)
            < (p2.Y - (long) p1.Y)*(p.X - p1.X))
        {
            inside = !inside;
        }

        oldPoint = newPoint;
    }

    return inside;
}

See this it's in c++ and can be done in c# in a same way.

for convex polygon is too easy:

If the polygon is convex then one can consider the polygon as a "path" from the first vertex. A point is on the interior of this polygons if it is always on the same side of all the line segments making up the path.

Given a line segment between P0 (x0,y0) and P1 (x1,y1), another point P (x,y) has the following relationship to the line segment. Compute (y - y0) (x1 - x0) - (x - x0) (y1 - y0)

if it is less than 0 then P is to the right of the line segment, if greater than 0 it is to the left, if equal to 0 then it lies on the line segment.

Here is its code in c#, I didn't check edge cases.

        public static bool IsInPolygon(Point[] poly, Point point)
        {
           var coef = poly.Skip(1).Select((p, i) => 
                                           (point.Y - poly[i].Y)*(p.X - poly[i].X) 
                                         - (point.X - poly[i].X) * (p.Y - poly[i].Y))
                                   .ToList();

            if (coef.Any(p => p == 0))
                return true;

            for (int i = 1; i < coef.Count(); i++)
            {
                if (coef[i] * coef[i - 1] < 0)
                    return false;
            }
            return true;
        }

I test it with simple rectangle works fine:

            Point[] pts = new Point[] { new Point { X = 1, Y = 1 }, 
                                        new Point { X = 1, Y = 3 }, 
                                        new Point { X = 3, Y = 3 }, 
                                        new Point { X = 3, Y = 1 } };
            IsInPolygon(pts, new Point { X = 2, Y = 2 }); ==> true
            IsInPolygon(pts, new Point { X = 1, Y = 2 }); ==> true
            IsInPolygon(pts, new Point { X = 0, Y = 2 }); ==> false

Explanation on the linq query:

poly.Skip(1) ==> creates a new list started from position 1 of the poly list and then by (point.Y - poly[i].Y)*(p.X - poly[i].X) - (point.X - poly[i].X) * (p.Y - poly[i].Y) we'll going to calculate the direction (which mentioned in referenced paragraph). similar example (with another operation):

lst = 2,4,8,12,7,19
lst.Skip(1) ==> 4,8,12,7,19
lst.Skip(1).Select((p,i)=>p-lst[i]) ==> 2,4,4,-5,12
