Quick easy points for anyone who knows the answer: The following Xaml path works

  • 0

Quick easy points for anyone who knows the answer:

The following Xaml path works fine in WPF but crashes in Silverlight. I can verify this behaviour in Kaxaml.

The path code is

<Path Fill="#FFEDEDED" StrokeThickness="1" Stroke="#FFA3A3A3" Opacity="0.7" 
                VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" >
    <Path.Data>
        <PathGeometry Figures="m 1 2 l 4.0525 5.2361 l 4.0527 -5.2361 z "/>
    </Path.Data>
</Path>

The exception is a script error

Unhandled error in Silverlight Application. Failed to create a
System.Windows.Media.PathFigureCollection from the text ‘m 1 2 l
4.0525 5.2361 l 4.0527 -5.2361 z’

Its supposed to draw a triangle like so:

Any ideas?

    Unlike WPF Silverlight does not support converting a string to Figures.

    I got the following underline/hover error message in Expression Blend:

    The equivalent triangle, authored via Blend, for Silverlight is:

    <Path Fill="#FFEDEDED" StrokeThickness="1" Stroke="#FFA3A3A3" Opacity="0.7" 
                VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                Data="m 1 2 l 4.0525 5.2361 l 4.0527 -5.2361 z" />
