Caution
Avoid using BitmapEffects as they have very poor performance characteristics. They will be deprecated in a future version. Consider using the UIElement.Effect property and ShaderEffects where appropriate instead.
Caution
BitmapEffects are deprecated and no longer function. Consider using Effects where appropriate instead.
Gets or sets a bitmap effect that applies directly to the rendered content for this element. This is a dependency property.

Examples
The following example sets a bitmap effect, using BlurBitmapEffect.
// Get a reference to the Button.
Button myButton = (Button)sender;
// Initialize a new BlurBitmapEffect that will be applied
// to the Button.
BlurBitmapEffect myBlurEffect = new BlurBitmapEffect();
// Set the Radius property of the blur. This determines how
// blurry the effect will be. The larger the radius, the more
// blurring.
myBlurEffect.Radius = 10;
// Set the KernelType property of the blur. A KernalType of "Box"
// creates less blur than the Gaussian kernal type.
myBlurEffect.KernelType = KernelType.Box;
// Apply the bitmap effect to the Button.
myButton.BitmapEffect = myBlurEffect;
Remarks
BitmapEffect is an abstract type, therefore the XAML usage requires an implemented derived class of BitmapEffect, such as OuterGlowBitmapEffect. Note that one implemented derived class is a collection type that allows you to specify more than one sequential BitmapEffect, using a nested tag syntax.
No existing derived class of BitmapEffect supports a type converter, so the XAML syntax that you use for this property is generally property element syntax.
