Entity Framework Spatial Aggregates Functions

Question

Sql Server has useful spatial aggregate functions which are described here .
Just wondering are they available through Entity Framework API? For instance can I use Envelope Aggregate in Entity Framework LINQ query?
There is a class in Entity Framework 6 which calls SqlSpatialFunctions that provided some SQL Server spatial functions but I couldn't find EnvelopeAggregate function.
Does Entity Framework provide any equivalent API or I need to use raw TSQL query>

Answer 1

I haven't been able to find a LINQ-based solution, but for reference here's an example using a raw SQL query in Entity Framework 6:

// Need to use SQL since EF doesn't support spatial aggregates
var querySql = @"SELECT 
Geometry::UnionAggregate([SpatialBounds]) 
FROM [dbo].[LandgateLocation] 
WHERE [Distict] = (@p0)";

var polygon = await dbContext.Database.SqlQuery<DbGeometry>(querySql, request.District).SingleAsync();
