[...] Finding Shortest Distance between Two Shapes using Spatial Data Classes – Ramsetu or Adam’s Brid… When you run this script SQL Server finds out the shortest distance between two shapes and draws the line. We are using STBuffer so we can see the connecting line clearly. [...]

I had this problem elsewhere. CLR CREATE PROCEDURE likes a fully specified name.

This fails:
EXTERNAL NAME upc_GetWaitingQueueItems.InvokeWebService.upc_GetWaitingQueueItems

While this succeeds:
EXTERNAL NAME upc_GetWaitingQueueItems.[upc_GetWaitingQueueItems.InvokeWebService].upc_GetWaitingQueueItems

This is sql server 2012 feature, not available in 2008.

Hi Pinal,
When I ran the script: Got the error:
Msg 6506, Level 16, State 10, Line 7
Could not find method ‘ShortestLineTo’ for type ‘Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.SqlGeometry’ in assembly ‘Microsoft.SqlServer.Types’

Using SQL Server 2008.

Thank you
