Hi,

I'm not sure about purpose of the library now. Is it meant to be able to work with spatial types or I can use it also to fill in tables in SQL server (2019)?

Using data tables I got follownig error:

[11:16:29 ERR] Error storing timetable dataset
System.InvalidOperationException: The given value of type SqlGeography from the data source cannot be converted to type udt of the specified target column.

Data table code:

table.Columns.Add(nameof(FlexibleAreaEntity.PosList), typeof(SqlGeography));

..

newRow[nameof(FlexibleAreaEntity.PosList)] =
    SqlGeography.STGeomFromText(new SqlChars($@"MULTIPOLYGON ((({_separator.Separate(item.PosList)})))"), 4326);

@valdisiljuconoks I had the same problem. I changed to use Microsoft.Data.SqlClient instead of System.Data.SqlClient. It works.
