WPF C# Path: How to get from a string with Path Data to Geometry in Code (not in XAML)

by 
var path = new Path();
path.Data = Geometry.Parse("M 100,200 C 100,25 400,350 400,175 H 280");

Path.Data is of type Geometry. Using Reflector JustDecompile (eff Red Gate), I looked at the definition of Geometry for its TypeConverterAttribute (which the xaml serializer uses to convert values of type string to Geometry). This pointed me to the GeometryConverter. Checking out the implementation, I saw that it uses Geometry.Parse to convert the string value of the path to a Geometry instance.
