.net - How to perform transformations using ProjNet?

While writing some unit tests I thought it would be convenient/possible to use ProjNet to convert from EPSG:4326 into several other coordinate systems (3875,3395). I figured it would be as easy as grabbing the WKT values from spatialreference.org:

Add a reference to ProjNet and running the following code:

var cf = new ProjNet.CoordinateSystems.CoordinateSystemFactory ( );
var f = new ProjNet.CoordinateSystems.Transformations.CoordinateTransformationFactory ( );
var sys4326 = cf.CreateFromWkt ( wkt4326 );
var sys3857 = cf.CreateFromWkt ( wkt3857 );
var sys3395 = cf.CreateFromWkt ( wkt3395 );
var transformTo3875 = f.CreateFromCoordinateSystems ( sys4326, sys3857 );
var transformTo3395 = f.CreateFromCoordinateSystems ( sys4326, sys3395 );

But 3857 and 3395 could not be parsed. I googled around and found a workable 3857 though I haven't confirmed it produces a correct result. I continue to get an error parsing 3395 (Expecting ('PROJECTION') but got a 'UNIT' at line 1 column 296.).

Perhaps the "OGC WKT" can be modified in a predicable way to work with ProjNet? Or perhaps ProjNet is not the best .NET solution for re-projecting coordinates?

Answer

I found that manually conforming my WKT to the BNF described here eliminates the errors. Content repeated below:

 =  |  | 
 = PROJCS["", , , {,}* ]

 = PROJECTION[""]
 = PARAMETER["", ]
 = 

 = GEOGCS["", , , ]
 = DATUM["", ]
 = SPHEROID["", , ]
 =  NOTE: semi-major axis is measured in meters and must be > 0.
 = 
 = PRIMEM["", ]

 = 

 = 
 = 
 = UNIT["", ]
 = 

 = GEOCCS["", , , ]

So for my specific problem (EPSG:3395) the resulting WKT would be:

PROJCS["WGS 84 / World Mercator",
    GEOGCS["WGS 84",
        DATUM["WGS_1984",
            SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,
                AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
            AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,
            AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
        UNIT["degree",0.01745329251994328,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]],

    PROJECTION["Mercator_1SP"],
    PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0], // required, missing from spatialreference.org
    PARAMETER["central_meridian",0],
    PARAMETER["scale_factor",1],
    PARAMETER["false_easting",0],
    PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
    UNIT["metre",1,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],
    AXIS["Easting",EAST],
    AXIS["Northing",NORTH],
    AUTHORITY["EPSG","3395"]]
