.Net library to handle spatial data from SQL Server

Question

I want to create application which would display spatial data on Map. I'm thinking about using SQL Server spatial features but not sure how should I handle that data in C#. Is there a good library I could use for that?

Answer 1

Is there a good library I could use for that?

What is the "that" specifically? What you mean handling spatial data? Process, performing geometry computational operations or just displaying?

If you mean working with geometries and performing operations on geometries, you may try to use SqlGeometry and related types available for .NET in Microsoft.SqlServer.Types namespace

Speaking of ORM, you may try to use frameworks available for .NET like NHibernate
