Convert Polygon to DbGeography

[AlexVelez]

Hello

I need to convert a polygon geometry to System.Data.Entity.Spatial.DbGeography , I have been trying to do with something like that

 StringBuilder text = new StringBuilder();
                string firstPoint = string.Empty, textToAppend;
                var parts = ((Polygon)(geometry)).Parts;
                for (int i = 0; i < parts[0].Points.Count; i++)
                {
                    var normalizedPoint = GeometryEngine.NormalizeCentralMeridian(parts[0].Points[i]);
                    var projectedCenter = GeometryEngine.Project(normalizedPoint, SpatialReferences.Wgs84) as MapPoint;
                    textToAppend = $"{projectedCenter.X} {projectedCenter.Y}";
                    textToAppend= textToAppend.Replace(',', '.');
                    textToAppend = $"{textToAppend},";
                    text.Append(textToAppend);
                    if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(firstPoint))
                    {
                        firstPoint = $"{projectedCenter.X} {projectedCenter.Y}";
                        firstPoint = firstPoint.Replace(',', '.');
                    }
                }
                text.Append(firstPoint);
             var dbGeography=DbGeography.PolygonFromText($"POLYGON(({text}))", 4326);

 And it works, but when i saved it to a SQL database on a column of type Geography, it does not work correctly.

What is the correct way to achieve this?

Thanks

You're better off going through the geometry builders than going through WKT which would be extremely slow. Perhaps this code snippet here will help: https://github.com/dotMorten/GeometryConversions/blob/master/src/GeometryConversions.Shared/System.S...

Thanks for the reply 

I was checking the code but its for convert to Microsoft.Spatial and i dont know what more to do to convert to System.Data.Entity.Spatial.DbGeography. Please help me

I don't know EF too well, but browsing their code it looks like it's just a wrapper around other spatial libraries, and there's some sort of provider that might give you access to the underlying sql geometry libraries.
