Create MultiPolygon SqlGeography from Polygon SqlGeographys

c#, sqlgeography

Solution

I found a way using SqlGeographyBuilder, there may be a more efficient way but this works:

List<SqlGeography> areaPolygons = GetAreaPolygons()
SqlGeography multiPoly = null;

SqlGeographyBuilder sqlbuilder = new SqlGeographyBuilder();
sqlbuilder.SetSrid(4326);
sqlbuilder.BeginGeography(OpenGisGeographyType.MultiPolygon);

foreach (SqlGeography geog in areaPolygons)
{
    sqlbuilder.BeginGeography(OpenGisGeographyType.Polygon);

    for (int i = 1; i <= geog.STNumPoints(); i++)
        {
            if (i == 1)
                sqlbuilder.BeginFigure((double)geog.STPointN(i).Lat, (double)geog.STPointN(i).Long);
            else
                sqlbuilder.AddLine((double)geog.STPointN(i).Lat, (double)geog.STPointN(i).Long);
        }

        sqlbuilder.EndFigure();
        sqlbuilder.EndGeography();
}

sqlbuilder.EndGeography();
multiPoly = sqlbuilder.ConstructedGeography;

Problem

I have a list of SqlGeographys that are Polygons. I want to combine them into one SqlGeography of type multipolygon. ``` List<SqlGeography> areaPolygons = GetAreaPolygons() SqlGeography multiPoly = null; foreach (SqlGeography geog in areaPolygons) { /// Combine them somehow? } ```
