Can Maui configure a shadow in a line? - xaml

Question

I´m developing an app in .net maui and i have a question i have not answered myself through browsing.
I'm trying to apply a shadow to a border and the following code works perfectly.
<Border
Style="{StaticResource light-theme-border}"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="3"
Grid.ColumnSpan="7">
<Border.Shadow>
<Shadow
Brush="red"
Offset="1,11"
Radius="20"
Opacity="0.25"/>
</Border.Shadow>
</Border>
But when i write shadow directly inside the border properties it catches the property but i don't know how to dump the [brush, offset, radius & opacity] info:
<Border
Style="{StaticResource light-theme-border}"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="3"
Grid.ColumnSpan="7"
Shadow="???????????????????????????">
</Border>

You can then define and consume it as a resource (same what you did with Style property):
<ContentPage.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<Shadow
x:Key="CommonShadow"
Brush="red"
Offset="1,11"
Radius="20"
Opacity="0.25"/>
<Border
Style="{StaticResource light-theme-border}"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="3"
Grid.ColumnSpan="7"
Shadow="{StaticResource CommonShadow}">
</Border>
Or integrate it in your existing style of Border
<ContentPage.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<Style x:Key="light-theme-border" TargetType="Border">
<Setter Property="WidthRequest" Value="20" />
<Setter Property="Shadow">
<Setter.Value>
<Shadow
Brush="red"
Opacity="1"
Radius="50"
Offset="20,20" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Border
Style="{StaticResource light-theme-border}"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="3"
Grid.ColumnSpan="7">
</Border>
Or integrate it in your existing style of Border as a static resource
<ContentPage.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<Shadow
x:Key="CommonShadow"
Brush="red"
Offset="1,11"
Radius="20"
Opacity="0.25"/>
<Style x:Key="light-theme-border" TargetType="Border">
<Setter Property="WidthRequest" Value="20" />
<Setter Property="Shadow" Value="{StaticResource CommonShadow}"/>
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
</ContentPage.Resources>
<Border
Style="{StaticResource light-theme-border}"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="3"
Grid.ColumnSpan="7">
</Border>
