Public Function STNumGeometries As SqlInt32
'Usage
Dim instance As SqlGeography
Dim returnValue As SqlInt32

returnValue = instance.STNumGeometries()

[SqlMethodAttribute(IsDeterministic = true, IsPrecise = true)]
public SqlInt32 STNumGeometries()

[SqlMethodAttribute(IsDeterministic = true, IsPrecise = true)]
public:
SqlInt32 STNumGeometries()

[<SqlMethodAttribute(IsDeterministic = true, IsPrecise = true)>]
member STNumGeometries : unit -> SqlInt32

public function STNumGeometries() : SqlInt32

Return Value

Type: System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlInt32
A SqlInt32 value that specifies the number of geometries that make up the SqlGeography instance.
