I have made the glow by drop shadow effect in wpf4.my problem is i want the color of the shadow to be bind with one of the properties of the button like Foreground. the problem is i cant because the type of the color is Color but the type of the Foreground is Brush. any helps?

P.S: because it's in a button style i want this binding to be done in xaml.

You need to use a SolidColorBrush there.

5'ed - seems I need more time to read the questions than you need to answer them :)
