Silverlight Gradient Border Effect

Question

This was done in Photoshop:

The white box I would create using a Silverlight Border. How would I then create the dropshadow kind of effect. As you can see it is a bit different from the standard dropshadow.

Would Shazzam help achieve this?

Edit: Graeme got me looking in the right direction. I ended up using this solution which I found following this path:

Thanks Graeme!

Answer 1

I would use a second border. Give it a LinearGradient brush for the stroke and increase the thickness.

Answer 2

For this effect, "Glow" can be used but I have noticed that silverlight and wpf had glow effect in earlier version but i cant find it. You can use Glow to give dark color shadow effect as well.

Answer 3

ondesertverge, there is a control which adds glow effect in Blacklight open-source project: http://blacklight.codeplex.com/
