Properties

HasM

Returns true if at least one point in a spatial object contains value M; otherwise returns false. This property is read-only.

Returns true if at least one point in a spatial object contains value Z; otherwise returns false. This property is read-only.

IsNull

Gets a value that indicates whether the SqlGeometry object is null.

M

Gets the M (measure) value of the SqlGeometry instance. The semantics of the measure value are user-defined.

Null

Gets a read-only property providing a null instance of the SqlGeometry type.
