    I am trying to store some simple rectangle polygons in a geography field, but I keep getting the following error:

    System.ArgumentException: 24200: The specified input does not represent a valid geography instance.

    Could someone please tell me what is wrong with this WKT? 

    SELECT geography::STGeomFromText('POLYGON((

    -119.76326468248 39.441673758198,

    -119.76219319366 39.441673758198,

    -119.76219319366 39.440559409825,

    -119.76326468248 39.440559409825,

    -119.76326468248 39.441673758198))', 4326)

    Hello,

    You forgot the "Left-Hand Rule"; just turn the points around:

    SELECT geography::STGeomFromText(

    'POLYGON(( -119.76326468248 39.441673758198,

               -119.76326468248 39.440559409825,

               -119.76219319366 39.440559409825,

               -119.76219319366 39.441673758198,

               -119.76326468248 39.441673758198))', 4326).ToString()
