decimal to latitude and longitude c# code example

Example 1: lat long data type c#

public decimal Latitude { get; set; }
 public decimal Longitude { get; set; }

Example 2: calculate distance using latitude and longitude c#

public class Coordinates
{
    public double Latitude { get; private set; }
    public double Longitude { get; private set; }

    public Coordinates(double latitude, double longitude)
    {
        Latitude = latitude;
        Longitude = longitude;
    }
}
public static class CoordinatesDistanceExtensions
{
    public static double DistanceTo(this Coordinates baseCoordinates, Coordinates targetCoordinates)
    {
        return DistanceTo(baseCoordinates, targetCoordinates, UnitOfLength.Kilometers);
    }

    public static double DistanceTo(this Coordinates baseCoordinates, Coordinates targetCoordinates, UnitOfLength unitOfLength)
    {
        var baseRad = Math.PI * baseCoordinates.Latitude / 180;
        var targetRad = Math.PI * targetCoordinates.Latitude/ 180;
        var theta = baseCoordinates.Longitude - targetCoordinates.Longitude;
        var thetaRad = Math.PI * theta / 180;

        double dist =
            Math.Sin(baseRad) * Math.Sin(targetRad) + Math.Cos(baseRad) *
            Math.Cos(targetRad) * Math.Cos(thetaRad);
        dist = Math.Acos(dist);

        dist = dist * 180 / Math.PI;
        dist = dist * 60 * 1.1515;

        return unitOfLength.ConvertFromMiles(dist);
    }
}

public class UnitOfLength
{
    public static UnitOfLength Kilometers = new UnitOfLength(1.609344);
    public static UnitOfLength NauticalMiles = new UnitOfLength(0.8684);
    public static UnitOfLength Miles = new UnitOfLength(1);

    private readonly double _fromMilesFactor;

    {
        _fromMilesFactor = fromMilesFactor;
    }

    public double ConvertFromMiles(double input)
    {
        return input*_fromMilesFactor;
    }
}

Example 3: calculate distance using latitude and longitude c#

var sCoord = new GeoCoordinate(sLatitude, sLongitude);
var eCoord = new GeoCoordinate(eLatitude, eLongitude);

return sCoord.GetDistanceTo(eCoord);
