Public Function STDistance (other As SqlGeometry) As SqlDouble

Parameters

other
SqlGeometry

The SqlGeometry instance from which to measure the distance between the instance on which STDistance(SqlGeometry) is invoked. If other is an empty set, STDistance(SqlGeometry) returns null.

Returns

A SqlDouble value that represents the shortest distance between a point in the calling SqlGeometry and a point in the specified SqlGeometry.
