The geometry type of the topology error.
[Visual Basic .NET] Public ReadOnly Property ShapeType As esriGeometryType
[C#] public esriGeometryType ShapeType {get;}
[C++]
HRESULT get_ShapeType(
  esriGeometryType* GeometryType
);
[C++]
Parameters GeometryType [out, retval]
GeometryType is a parameter of type esriGeometryType
The ShapeType property will return the esriGeometryType of the topology error feature. Topology error features will be one of three possible geometry types: esriGeometryPolygon , esriGeometryPolyline or esriGeometryPolyline. Several topology rules can produce topology error features of different shape types, use the ITopologyRule::ErrorShapeTypes method to determine the valid shape types for each rule.
