  Name Description
Public method AsGml Returns the Geography Markup Language (GML) representation of a SqlGeography instance.
Public method AsTextZM Returns the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Well-Known Text (WKT) representation of a SqlGeography instance augmented with any Z (elevation) and M (measure) values carried by the instance.
Public method BufferWithTolerance Returns a geometric object representing the union of all point values whose distance from a SqlGeography instance is less than or equal to a specified value, allowing for a specified tolerance.
Public method EnvelopeAngle Returns the maximum angle between the point returned by the EnvelopeCenter method and a point in the geography instance in degrees.
Public method EnvelopeCenter Returns a point that can be used as the center of a bounding circle for the geography instance.
Public method Equals (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Filter Offers a fast, index-only intersection method to determine if a geography instance intersects another SqlGeography instance, assuming an index is available.
Protected method Finalize (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodStatic member GeomFromGml Constructs a SqlGeography instance given a representation in the SQL Server subset of the Geography Markup Language (GML).
Public method GetHashCode (Inherited from Object.)
