Return Types

SQL Server return type: bit

CLR return type: SqlBoolean

Remarks

This method returns 0 if any figures of a geography instance are points, or if the instance is empty.

This method returns true if a FullGlobe instance is a Polygon or other type of instance.

All Polygon instances are considered closed.

Examples

The following example creates a Polygon instance and uses STIsClosed() to test if the Polygon is closed.

DECLARE @g geography;  
SET @g = geography::STGeomFromText('POLYGON((-122.358 47.653, -122.348 47.649, -122.348 47.658, -122.358 47.658, -122.358 47.653))', 4326);  
SELECT @g.STIsClosed();
