Silverlight 4: How to apply multiple effects to an element?

Question

We can apply only one effect to an element. Is there any way to apply multiple effects simultaneously to an element? like both DropShadowEffect as well as the BlurEffect ?

Google did not help me much. Any suggestions?

Hi there,

I once experienced the same problem; I had to apply a BlurEffect as well as a DropShadowEffect to an image. What I did was this: I applied the BlurEffect to the Image and put that Image into a Grid (which itself is lookless) onto which I could apply the DropShadowEffect:

<Grid>
    <Image ...>
        <Image.Effect>
            <BlurEffect ... />
        </Image.Effect>
    </Image>
    <Grid.Effect>
        <DropShadowEffect ... />
    </Grid.Effect>
</Grid>
