| Aug 28, 2015 at 15:56 | comment | added | mkennedy | Yep, that's the way to do it. To check if a WKID is valid, the software has to create the object anyway then check its type. | |

| Aug 28, 2015 at 15:08 | comment | added | TSJ | So I am correct in thinking the only way to do this is to try one of the two methods (Geographic or Projected), see if it fails, then try the other? This is using Try and Catch for program flow though, which seems inappropriate. There's no other way? | |
