Outer glow effect to border

Question

How to provide the outer glow effect to border?

Answer 1

BitmapEffects are no longer supported in .NET 4.0.

From MSDN

Important In the .NET Framework 4 or later, the BitmapEffect class is obsolete. If you try to use the BitmapEffect class, you will get an obsolete exception. The non-obsolete alternative to the BitmapEffect class is the Effect class. In most situations, the Effect class is significantly faster.

It isn't the same thing but you can try with a DropShadowEffect with ShadowDepth close to 0 instead.

Example

Comparison between the BitmapEffects you had and DropShadowEffect above. DropShadowEffect to the right.
