I want to set Shadow effect around all sides of Grid.

I am using DropShadowEffect property of control to set shadow.

What i found is Direction property set shadow around control.

 <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="#F4F2F1" Width="300" Height="300">
        <Grid.Effect>
        <DropShadowEffect BlurRadius="300"
                              Color="#877b77"
                              Opacity="100"
                              ShadowDepth="10"
                              Direction="0" />
        </Grid.Effect>
    </Grid>

You must set the ShadowDepth to 0 (shadow is directly underneath the border).

Silverlight grid with auto width and height

You need place Width:100% and Height:100% in the style of the object tag in the HTML holding it. You also need to make sure the containing element (probably the body) has the height of the view port. This is done by ensuring the style "height:100%; overflow:hidden;" is on the html tag and the body tag. Put margin:0px on the body and place the attribute scroll="no" on the body as well for good measure. Now your Silverlight control owns and sizes to the browsers client window area.

Also remove the Width="Auto" and Height="Auto" from the UserControl.

Wpf – How to override the opacity of a parent control in WPF

I was able to achieve something like this in pure xaml using a Brush to paint the main grids background. This way only parent grid will have its opacity set and its child elements won't inherit it.

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">       
      <Grid>
        <Grid.Background>
            <SolidColorBrush Color="Black" Opacity="0.5"/>
        </Grid.Background>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
          <RowDefinition Height="0.333*"/>
          <RowDefinition Height="0.333*"/>
          <RowDefinition Height="0.333*"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
          <ColumnDefinition Width="0.333*"/>
          <ColumnDefinition Width="0.333*"/>
          <ColumnDefinition Width="0.333*"/>
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

        <Grid Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Background="Red" />
      </Grid>   
</Grid>
