ToString (geometry)#
Returns the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Well-Known Text (WKT) representation of a geometry instance augmented with any Z (elevation) and M (measure) values carried by the instance.
Syntax#
.ToString ()
Return type#
nvarchar(max)
Remarks#
This method will return the string “Null” when called on null instances.
On non-null instances, this method is equivalent to using AsTextZM().
Example#
Create a LineString instance and use ToString() to fetch the text description of the instance.
DECLARE @g geometry;
SET @g = geometry::STGeomFromText('LINESTRING(0 0, 0 1, 1 0)', 0);
SELECT @g.ToString();
