It smells like a wkt geometry representation in hexstring format. You
should convert this into a binary array and then use
Geometry.CreateFromWkb, something like (untested):

// allocate byte array based on half of string length
byte[] bytes = new byte[(strInput.Length) / 2];
// loop through the string - 2 bytes at a time converting it to
decimal equivalent and store in byte array
int i = 0, x= 0;
while (strInput.Length > i + 1)
{
    long lngDecimal = Convert.ToInt32(strInput.Substring(i, 2), 16);
    bytes[x] = Convert.ToByte(lngDecimal);
    i = i + 2;
    ++x;
}
Geometry geom = Geometry.CreateFromWkb(bytes);


I wonder if there is some support to this kind of string conversion in
the .NET FW class library (something like the BitConverter class) that
I'm not aware of. Let me know if you can do it easier.

Best regards,
