body: <p>I want to set Shadow effect around all sides of Grid.</p>
  
  <p>I am using <strong>DropShadowEffect</strong> property of control to set shadow.</p>
  
  <p>What i found is <strong>Direction</strong> property set shadow around control. </p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="#F4F2F1" Width="300" Height="300"&gt;
          &lt;Grid.Effect&gt;
          &lt;DropShadowEffect BlurRadius="300"
                                Color="#877b77"
                                Opacity="100"
                                ShadowDepth="10"
                                Direction="0" /&gt;
