Getting Started with WinUI Shadow

Updated on Mar 26, 2026

This article will guide you through the steps needed to add a basic RadShadow control in your application.

Assembly References

In order to use the RadShadow control, you will need to add references to the following assembly:

• Telerik.WinUI.Controls
• Telerik.Licensing.Runtime.dll

Adding RadShadow to the Project

You can add a RadShadow manually in XAML as demonstrated in Example 1.

You can access the RadShadow control through an alias pointing to the Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives namespace: xmlns:primitives="using:Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives"

Example 1: Adding a Shadow Control to a Ellipse

XAML

<primitives:RadShadow BlurRadius="50" Color="Blue" ShadowOpacity="0.32" >
	<Ellipse Width="250" Height="250" Fill="Bisque"/>
</primitives:RadShadow>
