SqlGeography.Parse Method

Returns a SqlGeography instance from an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Well-Known Text (WKT) representation.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
<SqlMethodAttribute(IsDeterministic := True, IsPrecise := False)> _
Public Shared Function Parse ( _
    s As SqlString _
) As SqlGeography
'Usage
Dim s As SqlString
Dim returnValue As SqlGeography

returnValue = SqlGeography.Parse(s)

[SqlMethodAttribute(IsDeterministic = true, IsPrecise = false)]
public static SqlGeography Parse(
    SqlString s
)

[SqlMethodAttribute(IsDeterministic = true, IsPrecise = false)]
public:
static SqlGeography^ Parse(
    SqlString s
)

[<SqlMethodAttribute(IsDeterministic = true, IsPrecise = false)>]
static member Parse : 
        s:SqlString -> SqlGeography

public static function Parse(
    s : SqlString
) : SqlGeography

Parameters

• s
  Type: System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlString
  The WKT representation of the SqlGeography instance you wish to return.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.SqlGeography
A SqlGeography value constructed from the specified WKT representation.

Remarks

The Parse method is equivalent to STGeomFromText except that it assumes a spatial reference ID (SRID) of 4326 as a parameter. The input may carry optional Z (elevation) and M (measure) values.
