Array of descriptive names for the values in DistanceUnits enumeration. See DistanceUnits for an example of using DistanceUnitNames to retrieve a descriptive name for a returned distance unit.

Namespace:  ESRI.ArcGIS.VE
  (in ArcGISVE.exe)

Syntax

JScript
 function get DistanceUnitNames () : array<String>[]()[]
 function set DistanceUnitNames (value : array<String>[]()[])

Remarks

By default, the names are in English: "Meters","Feet","Kilometers","Miles". To change the values (to use for another language or to use abbreviations), define a new array for the property, for example:
Copy 
geomService.DistanceUnitNames = ["m","ft","km","mi"];
The number of names in the array must match the number of items in the DistanceUnits enumeration.

For an example of using DistanceUnitNames to retrieve the descriptive name for an DistanceUnit, see the sample "Measure the areas and perimeters of a set of polygons" in the "Work with Geometry" section of the Interactive SDK.
