Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Types
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Types (in Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<SqlMethodAttribute(IsDeterministic := True, IsPrecise := True)> _
Public Function STNumGeometries As SqlInt32
'Usage
Dim instance As SqlGeography
Dim returnValue As SqlInt32

returnValue = instance.STNumGeometries()
[SqlMethodAttribute(IsDeterministic = true, IsPrecise = true)]
public SqlInt32 STNumGeometries()
[SqlMethodAttribute(IsDeterministic = true, IsPrecise = true)]
public:
SqlInt32 STNumGeometries()
[<SqlMethodAttribute(IsDeterministic = true, IsPrecise = true)>]
member STNumGeometries : unit -> SqlInt32 
public function STNumGeometries() : SqlInt32

Return Value

Type: System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlInt32
A SqlInt32 value that specifies the number of geometries that make up the SqlGeography instance.

Remarks

This method returns 1 if the geography instance is not a MultiPoint, MultiLineString, MultiPolygon, or GeometryCollection instance, or 0 if the SqlGeography instance is empty.
