HI,

How to determine if a point is within a polygon.

I wrote this  function


 Private Function inPolygon(ByVal pA As Double(,), ByVal x As Double,
ByVal y As Double) As Boolean
 
'-------------------------------------------------------------------'
    'Point inclusion in polygon test
    'Makes use of the ray-casting algorithim (based on the Jordan
Curve
    'Theorem) to determine if a point is within a polygon.
    'Taken from W Randolph Franklin,
    'http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/Homepages/wrf/Research/Short_Notes/
pnpoly.html
 
'-------------------------------------------------------------------'

        Dim i As Integer = 0
        Dim j As Integer = 0
        Dim c As Boolean = False

        j = pA.GetUpperBound(0)

        For i = 0 To pA.GetUpperBound(0)
            If ((((pA(i, 1) <= y) And (y < pA(j, 1))) Or ((pA(j, 1) <=
y) And (y < pA(i, 1)))) _
            And (x < (pA(j, 0) - pA(i, 0)) * (y - pA(i, 1)) / (pA(j,
1) - pA(i, 1)) + pA(i, 0))) Then
            c = Not c
            End If
            j = i
        Next

        Return c

    End Function





I need to use this function where i am pulling the points from the
databse.I  am getting  error, can anybody tell me how to do this


I was using like this, i am not sure  if this is correct wa of doing
or not


 Dim dr As OracleClient.OracleDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader
            If dr.HasRows Then
                xml = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""iso-8859-1"" ?
>" + vbNewLine
                xml += "<markers>" + vbNewLine
                While dr.Read()
                    'If inPolygon(PollyArray(longitude, latitude), dr
("longitude"), dr("latitude")) Then
                    xml += "<marker"


Thanks
Nive
