Silverlight 4 Border Clipping

Question

Is it possible in Silverlight 4 to create a border with rounded corners that clips any of it child UI Element? So far I have attempted to do so by setting a button as a child element of a border control but the buttons does not get clipped when I set the corner radius to create rounded corners in the border.

Take a look at the ClippingBehavior that is part of the Expression Blend Samples on CodePlex. It's a Blend behavior, so to add it you have to reference System.Windows.Interactivity.dll from the Blend SDK and drop the behavior on the element in Blend or add it in XAML:

<Border>
    <i:Interaction.Behaviors>
        <samples:ClippingBehavior CornerRadius="15"/>
    </i:Interaction.Behaviors>
    ... content ...
</Border>

This is a straightforward and reusable way to add rounded corners/clipping to any UI Element.
