SilverLight: get Path Geomatery Figures from PathGeometary object

Creating A SilverLight Path Geometry from data string. creating path dynamically

Hi
here is the code for creating a SilverLight path Geometry dynamically.
or creating a SilverLight path from a string.
Just paste below method in a new class or in existing class and it will be ready to use.
you can find a sample code to use this functions at bottom of the method.

/// Method tested with SilverLight 2.0


// this method will generates path with the data string
public PathGeometry getPathGeometry(string data)
{
PathGeometry pg = new PathGeometry();
PathSegmentCollection psc = new PathSegmentCollection();
PathFigure pf = new PathFigure();
PathFigureCollection pfc = new PathFigureCollection();
data= data.Replace("M "," M").Replace("C "," C").Replace("L "," L");
string[] str = data.Split(' ');
for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i++)
{
if (str[i].StartsWith("C") or str[i].StartsWith("c"))
{
string[] item = str[i].Split(',');
string[] item1 = str[i + 1].Split(',');
string[] item2 = str[i + 2].Split(',');
BezierSegment bs = new BezierSegment();
bs.Point1 = new Point(double.Parse(item[0].Substring(1)), double.Parse(item[1]));
bs.Point2 = new Point(double.Parse(item1[0]), double.Parse(item1[1]));
bs.Point3 = new Point(double.Parse(item2[0]), double.Parse(item2[1]));
i += 2;
psc.Add(bs);
}
else
if (str[i].StartsWith("L") or str[i].StartsWith("l"))
{
string[] item = str[i].Split(',');
LineSegment ls = new LineSegment();
ls.Point = new Point(double.Parse(item[0].Substring(1)), double.Parse(item[1]));
psc.Add(ls);
}
else
if (str[i].StartsWith("M") or str[i].StartsWith("m"))
{
string[] item = str[i].Split(',');
pf.StartPoint = new Point(double.Parse(item[0].Substring(1)), double.Parse(item[1]));
}
else if (str[i].StartsWith("z") or str[i].StartsWith("Z"))
{
pf.IsClosed = true;
}
}
pf.Segments = psc;
pfc.Add(pf);
pg.Figures = pfc;
return pg;
}
