You want to format a double value to a string with 12 digits?

Maybe NumberFormatInfo and NumberDecimalDigits will fit to your needs.

You have to convert from one coördinate system to another. Map 3D and Civil 3D have build-in functionality.

Maybe this articles from Kean Walmsley will shed some light on this topic:
