Spatial Data / Geography in SQL Server 2008, OR mappers and C #

I am developing a C # application that will use and store geographic locations using the Geography data type in SQL Server 2008. I planned to use the Entity Framework, but soon found that it lacked support for spatial data. Does anyone have experience with or knowledge of other OR cards with spatial support?

The system will have few records and many readings of geographic data. What is a good / preferred way to read / write spatial / geographic data from C #?

You can check the following post:

  • Support for spatial data types in Linq2Sql or EF4 .

In addition, you might also be interested in taking a look at SketchPad from the MSDN Code Library and its SketchPad blog article: A Simple Drawing Editor .

SketchPad is a simple drawing editor that allows you to create elementary geometric shapes and model them as objects using either the Entity Framework or LINQ to SQL. You can create, read and delete shapes and use the built-in spatial index to search for objects by attribute value.
