Hi,

I have a problem computing a big distance such as the one bellow. What did I do wrong ?

Thanks, Judicael.

BaseShape point1 = new PointShape(44.8, -0.6);  
BaseShape point2 = new PointShape(23.3, 120.3);  
var distance = point1.GetDistanceTo(point2, GeographyUnit.DecimalDegree, DistanceUnit.Meter);

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: The decimal degree latitude value you provided was out of range.  
Parameter name: toPoint.Y

Found my error, I just invert lat and lon. The error message was clear enough ! Hope it might help someone someday 😉
