.NET Framework 3.0

This sample shows the ControlTemplate examples for the most common WPF controls. If you are replacing the ControlTemplate of a control, these examples are the best place to get started.

This sample demonstrates a specific feature of the Windows Presentation Foundation and, consequently, does not follow application development best practices. For comprehensive coverage of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Microsoft .NET Framework application development best practices, refer to the following as appropriate:

Can anyone actually make this thing work???

The tooltip does not have any shadow
I added one by changing the border a little
(added margin to border, and a bitmap effect)
<Border Name="Border"
Background="{StaticResource LightBrush}"
BorderBrush="{StaticResource SolidBorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="1"
Width="{TemplateBinding Width}" 
Height="{TemplateBinding Height}"
Margin="20">
<ContentPresenter
  Margin="4" 
  HorizontalAlignment="Left"
  VerticalAlignment="Top" />
  <Border.BitmapEffect>
	  <DropShadowBitmapEffect Color="Black" Direction="315" Noise="0" Opacity=".75" ShadowDepth="3" Softness=".45" />
	</Border.BitmapEffect>
</Border>
