Page Brooks will show you how with Silverlight 3 you can easily achieve a drop shadow effect on your text.

Before Silverlight 3, you had to do perform some less-than-ideal tricks to achieve a drop shadow effect on your text.  In fact, the most decent trick I could find had to rely on the TextBox control and not the TextBlock control since you cannot re-template a TextBlock control.  But even that technique was not optimal since you couldn’t get a truly smooth shadow.
