Hi Kenneth, The SelectAggregates does both "distinct" and "aggregate" selects. In your case you want to do an aggregate select, so make sure you set IsDistinct to false. Then, add one computed property, with any name, whose computed expression is "SpatialExtents(Geometry)", where you replace "Geometry" by the actual name of the geometry property.
The returned data reader will have one row with a geometry column named by whatever name you gave the computed property. The geometry is a polygon with 5 points (a rectangle).
