| GeographicTransformation | A geographic transformation is used when projecting geometries between two different geographic coordinate systems. A geographic transformation converts everything that needs to be changed including the units, prime meridian, and the ellipsoid. Every transformation is defined in a particular forward direction, say from GCS A to GCS B, but all are reversible. For example, a geographic transformation may be defined to convert from NAD27 to WGS84. If you are projecting from WGS84 to NAD27, you can use the reversed form of the transformation. |
| GeographicTransformationListEntry | Provides the name, wkid, and wkids of the spatial references from which and to which the data will be projected. |

| GeometryObjectException | Indicates there is a problem with a geometry parameter passed to a GeometryEngine function. For example the geometry is empty or non z-aware (when passed to a function expecting a z-aware geometry). |
| HVDatumTransformation | A hv (horizontal/vertical) datum transformation is used when projecting z-aware geometries between two different geographic coordinate systems and two different vertical coordinate systems. As with geographic transformations, a hv datum transformation converts everything that needs to be changed including the units, prime meridian, and the ellipsoid. In addition, a hv datum transformation transforms height. Every transformation is defined in a particular forward direction, but all are reversible. For example, suppose your z-aware geometry is in WGS84 with vertical coordinate system EGM2008_Geoid, and you want to project to NAD83_2011 with vertical coordinate system NAD83_2011. A hv datum transformation is defined to project your z-aware geometry from WGS84 with vertical coordinate system EGM2008_Geoid to NAD83_2011 with vertical coordinate system NAD83_2011. If you are projecting from NAD83_2011 with vertical coordinate system NAD83_2011 to WGS84 with vertical coordinate system EGM2008_Geoid to NAD83_2011, you can use the reversed form of the transformation. |
