title: Convert from string to data in silverlight?
body: <p>Basically I'm trying to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Path path = new Path( ); 
  
  string sData = "M 250,40 L200,20 L200,60 Z";
  
  var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter( typeof( Geometry ) );
  path.Data = ( Geometry )converter.ConvertFrom( sData );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it won't compile, silverlight does not appear to have a TypeDescriptor class...</p>
