Namespace

Assembly

GeographyFromText(string)

Creates a spherical geography from Well-Known Text (WKT) representation.

public static Geography GeographyFromText(string wkt)

Parameters

wkt string

The Well-Known Text string representing the geography.

Returns

Geography

A Geography object representing data on Earth's curved surface.

Remarks

This method creates geographies for ellipsoidal (spherical) coordinate systems, typically used for latitude/longitude data. Geography calculations account for Earth's curvature, providing accurate distances and areas for global-scale spatial operations.

GeographyFromText<T>(string)

Creates a strongly-typed spherical geography from Well-Known Text (WKT) representation.

public static T GeographyFromText<T>(string wkt) where T : Geometry

Parameters

wkt string

The Well-Known Text string representing the geography.

Returns

T

A Geography's underlying geometry cast to the specified type.

Type Parameters

T

The specific geometry type to return (Point, LineString, Polygon, etc.).

Remarks

This generic method allows retrieving a specific geometry type from the WKT string, such as Point, LineString, or Polygon, while maintaining the geography's spherical calculation context.
