Examples
The following example uses STAsBinary() to create a LineStringgeography instance from (-122.360, 47.656) to (-122.343, 47.656) from text. It then returns the result in WKB.
DECLARE @g geography;
SET @g = geography::STGeomFromText('LINESTRING( -122.360 47.656, -122.343 47.656)', 4326);
SELECT @g.STAsBinary();
