title: Is there a way to see DropShadowEffect on designtime?
body: <p>I want to attach a <code>DropShadowEffect</code> on a <code>Border</code> control. I see it on runtime but not in the designer.</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-cs prettyprint-override"><code>    &lt;Grid&gt;
          &lt;Border Background="LightGray"
                  BorderBrush="DarkGray"
                  BorderThickness="1"
                  ClipToBounds="True"
                  Width="400"
                  Height="100"&gt;
              &lt;Border Background="Transparent"
                      BorderBrush="Black"
                      BorderThickness="0,10,0,0"
                      Margin="0,-11,0,0"&gt;
                  &lt;Border.Effect&gt;
                      &lt;DropShadowEffect ShadowDepth="0"/&gt;
                  &lt;/Border.Effect&gt;
              &lt;/Border&gt;
          &lt;/Border&gt;
      &lt;/Grid&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It's quite annoying, especially if working on custom control library.</p>
  
  <p>The former and now apparently obsolete <code>DropShadowBitmapEffect</code> works on run- and designtime. </p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong>
  This not a duplicate of other questions like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20646717/wpf-dropshadoweffect-appears-on-preview-but-not-at-runtime">Here</a> as it is quite the opposite problem. The shadow effect appears at runtime, but not in the designer. Just try it out with NET-Framework WPF Project and the code above.</p>
