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

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

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);

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.
