Polygons collision detection silverlight

Question

This is not a generic question on collision detection, so please read it till the end.

In my wp7 game, i represent all my objects as rectangles, and use the the Intersect() method to check for collisions between 2 rectangles, which works great.

I was thinking of enhancing the accuracy by drawing the objects as polygons instead of rectangles.

Is there a built in api such as the Rect.Intersect() that works for Polygons ?

More generic question: Is there a better approach other than the Rect.Intersect() one which utilizes .net api's and does not involve implementing collision detection algorithms?

Oh crap, I made the assumption you were using xna. Is that the case or no? — Terrance, Dec 13 '10 at 21:35
no i'm using silverlight not xna i thought that was obvious from the tag and question header :) — Amr H. Abd Elmajeed, Dec 13 '10 at 22:49
Sorry bout the mix up. I've played alot with xna and that is a fairly common type of question. Just kinda went with the gut reaction lol — Terrance, Dec 14 '10 at 00:21

There is no baked in equivalent for polygons collision detection in silverlight. There is a similar question asked here. But there is a Polygon Object JIC you didn't already know
