Mouse Events for Geomtry shapes in Silverlight

I have started Silverlight applications recently. I have created one silverlight application in which I have added two rectangle shapes through code and also implemented Mouse button events for these rectangles. But when I take Rectangle Geometry instead of Rectangle shape, I am not getting events to associate to them.
Can anyone tell me how can I handle events for Geometry shapes?
Thanks & Regards
Padma

Fine. So, we can't have events directly for Rectangle Geometry but for Path, is my understanding right?

Here I show you simple example to handle events in rectangle geometry.

XAML:

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
    <Canvas>
            <Path Fill="Red" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" MouseLeftButtonDown="mymouselbd">
                <Path.Data>
                    <RectangleGeometry Rect="100,100,250,250" />
                Path.Data>
            Path>
    Canvas>
Grid>

Code behind:

private void mymouselbd(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
          MessageBox.Show("Clicked on Rectangle");
}
