Anyone still having problems with this in VB.Net? I ran on to the same problem with version 1.4 as well as 1.5. I wrote a C# DLL with some "Get Geometry" functions to deal with all the buffer types. One point to note is that when the new geometry is returned, it still shows as a ShapeBuffer in debugging, but you can still access the PointShapeBuffer, MultiPointShapeBuffer, MultiPartShapeBuffer, MultiPatchShapeBuffer properties regardless. I hope this helps someone:
Usage:
Imports ESRIFileGDB.ConvertShapeBuffer
.
.
.
Dim geometry As New PointShapeBuffer = GetPointGeometry(row)

public static PointShapeBuffer GetPointGeometry(ref Esri.FileGDB.Row shapeRow)
{
try
{
PointShapeBuffer pointGeometry = shapeRow.GetGeometry();
return pointGeometry;
}
catch
{
return null;
}
}
public static MultiPointShapeBuffer GetMultiPointGeometry(ref Esri.FileGDB.Row shapeRow)
{
try
{
MultiPointShapeBuffer multipointGeometry = shapeRow.GetGeometry();
return multipointGeometry;
}
catch
{
return null;
}
}
public static MultiPatchShapeBuffer GetMultiPatchGeometry(ref Esri.FileGDB.Row shapeRow)
{
try
{
MultiPatchShapeBuffer patchGeometry = shapeRow.GetGeometry();
return patchGeometry;
}
catch
{
return null;
}
}
public static MultiPartShapeBuffer GetMultiPartGeometry(ref Esri.FileGDB.Row shapeRow)
{
try
{
MultiPartShapeBuffer multipartGeometry = shapeRow.GetGeometry();
return multipartGeometry;
}
catch
{
return null;
