Examples
The following example creates a LineString instance and uses AsGML() to return the GML description of the instance.
DECLARE @g geography;
SET @g = geography::STGeomFromText('LINESTRING(-122.360 47.656, -122.343 47.656)', 4326);
SELECT @g.AsGml();
This method returns the description as a LineString instance.
