Using BevelBitmapEffect on WPF Path

Question

I am trying to add a BevelBitmapEffect on my existing Path object:

<Path x:Name="A037" Width="174.024" Height="20.0028" Canvas.Left="1717.02" 
    Canvas.Top="1157.83" Stretch="Fill" StrokeThickness="2.00028" 
    StrokeLineJoin="Round" Stroke="#FF000000" Fill="#DC4C46" 
    Data="F1 M 1721.02,1158.83L 1718.02,1176.83L 1888.04,1176.83L 1890.04,1158.83L 1721.02,1158.83 Z ">
    <Path.BitmapEffect>
        <BevelBitmapEffect BevelWidth="3"/>
    </Path.BitmapEffect>
</Path>

but to no avail.

Am I missing something?

`BitmapEffect` is obsolete and it no longer takes any effect — Mr. Squirrel.Downy, Aug 27 '18 at 09:40

BitmapEffects such as the BevelBitmapEffect are obsolete since .NET Framework 4. Your sample should work as expected only if you target .NET Framework 3.0 or 3.5.

The WPF4+ alternative to using the BevelBitmapEffect class would be to create a custom class that inherits from Effect. I am afraid there are no built-in types that gives you a corresponding bevel effect out of the box.
