Solving ‘Spatial types and functions are not available’ with Entity Framework

This article provides a step-by-step guide to resolve the 'Spatial types and functions are not available' runtime exception when using SQL Server's geospatial features (DbGeography) with Entity Framework in ASP.NET applications. It covers installing the Microsoft.SqlServer.Types NuGet package, following readme.htm instructions for web or desktop apps, and configuring Entity Framework to use the correct assembly version. The solution addresses common deployment issues where spatial types work locally but fail on servers.
