# How to: Create a Quadratic Bezier Curve
This example shows how to create a quadratic Bezier curve. To create a quadratic Bezier curve, use the <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathGeometry>, <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathFigure>, and <xref:System.Windows.Media.QuadraticBezierSegment> classes.
## Example
In the following examples, a quadratic Bezier curve is drawn from (10,100) to (300,100). The curve has a control point of (200,200).
In Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), you can use attribute syntax to describe a path.
[!code-xaml[GeometrySample#54](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/GeometrySample/CS/geometryattributesyntaxexample.xaml#54)]
(Note that this attribute syntax actually creates a <xref:System.Windows.Media.StreamGeometry>, a lighter-weight version of a <xref:System.Windows.Media.PathGeometry>. For more information, see the [Path Markup Syntax](path-markup-syntax.md) page.)
In XAML, you may also draw a quadratic Bezier curve using object element syntax. The following is equivalent to the previous XAML example.
[!code-xaml[GeometrySample#34](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/GeometrySample/CS/pathgeometryexample.xaml#34)]
This example is part of larger sample; for the complete sample, see the [Geometries Sample](https://github.com/Microsoft/WPF-Samples/tree/master/Graphics/Geometry).
