Converting a string array to a system.drawing.point array

With no success, i am trying to convert a string array to at point array. I have tried the code below, but I get the message - 'Value of type 1-dimensonal array of strings cannot be converted to system.drawing.point'.

Is there a way to do this conversion

Dim _point(2) As String

_point(0) = "50, 50"

_point(1) = "100, 25"

_point(2) = "200, 5"

Dim _curv As Point()

_curv = CType(_point, Point)

Dim g As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics

g.FillPolygon(Brushes.AliceBlue, _curv)

You can use the class:

System.Drawing.PointConverter

Sample:

PointConverter pc = new PointConverter();

Point myPoint = (Point) pc.ConvertFromString(pointString);

You can't just cast it. You must convert it:

Here is the converted VB.NET code i converted from my writen C# code:

Dim _point(2) As String
_point(0) = "50, 50"
_point(1) = "100, 25"

Dim _curv(_point.Lenght) As Point

Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To _poInteger.Lenght- 1 Step i + 1
    Dim chunks() As String = _point(i).Split(',')
    Dim x As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(chunks(0).Trim())
    Dim y As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(chunks(1).Trim())

    _curv(i) = New Point(x, y)
Next

Here is the original C# code:

string[] _point = new string[2]
_point[0] = "50, 50";
_point[1] = "100, 25";

Point[] _curv = new Point[ _point.Lenght ];

for( int i = 0; i < _point.Lenght; i++ )
{
    string[] chunks = _point[ i ].Split(',');
    int x = Convert.ToInt32( chunks[ 0 ].Trim() );
    int y = Convert.ToInt32( chunks[ 1 ].Trim() );

    _curv[ i ] = new Point( x, y );
}
