Nice idea and implementation, for sure I will use this...

thanx :)

Yes this seems to work. You don't need the 'xmlns:x' namespace either, so you can make the string a bit shorter.

New Post: Overriding Base PathGeometry Converter

toddering — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 17:41:58 GMT

My apologies in advance for what is probably a very simple/stupid question. I'm new to XAML and just trying to figure out a few things.

I have a XAML file imported from XPS which contains several of the following elements:

<Path Fill="#FF000000">
                <Path.Data>
                    <GeometryGroup>
                        <GeometryGroup FillRule="Nonzero">
                            <GeometryGroup FillRule="Nonzero">
                                <PathGeometry FillRule="Nonzero" Data="M4.62890386581421,479.886810302734L5.3867130279541,479.886810302734 5.3867130279541,483.191467285156C5.3867130279541,483.688873291016 5.43293714523315,484.055419921875 5.52538442611694,484.291076660156 5.61783218383789,484.526763916016 5.77668571472168,484.708404541016 6.00194501876831,484.835998535156 6.22720432281494,484.963592529297 6.50259399414063,485.027404785156 6.8281135559082,485.027404785156 7....

When attempting to compile in MS Expression, the XAML editor complains that the TypeCoverter for the PathFigureCollection does not support a string.

It appears that you've cracked this issue, but what I don't understand is how to specify that the XAML editor/compiler should your your Converter instead of the base converter defined for the PathGeometry class.

Thanks in advance,
Todd

Created Issue: Format Exception when using non "en-us" culture and non LineSegments [5430]

When Current Culture is non "en-us" Converter cannot Convert strings that it Composes if using Any except LineSegments.
Fixed code is attached.

For example, this creates a light blue triangle:

string xamlTriangle = "<Path xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' " +
                      "xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml' " +
                      "Data='M0,0 L 100 50 0 100 Z' Fill='LightBlue' Stretch='Fill'/>";

Path path = (Path)System.Windows.Markup.XamlReader.Load(xamlTriangle);

New Post: This is great

Hi,

Does it mean that I can use the returned PathGeometry object to create a meshed text? So I can use the geometry points to create a 3D text?

Anyway, this is a great tool, thank you so much.

Created Issue: Multi-figure geometries are missing all but last figure

t_sch — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 14:05:18 GMT

Converting to a path from a string representing a multi-figure geometry only adds the last figure to the path. I corrected the bug and attach the corrected source file. Please compare to the original source and confirm the changes.
Thanks,
Thomas

Project Description
Silverlight 2 is great technology. But for developers who used to work with WPF there are some missed helper classes, which are very handy.
One of them is “PathFigureCollectionConverter” object, which accepts string with figure path definition and convert it to Geometry object. This project provides similar functionality for Silverlight 2: it accepts string with path definition, and return PathGeometry object which could be used in Silverlight 2 applications to set “Data” property for Path object. Also, it can convert PathGeometry object back to string with path definition.
Supports IValueConverter to ease using in data binding scenarios.

*NOTE: current code was ported from WPF source code and corresponds to Silverlight 2 Beta 2.
