c# windows form, the form side of the shade, what can I do to.

I found this code but it does not implement the same as the shadow effect.
Equal to the amount of code required to do the shading.

C#

private const int CS_DROPSHADOW = 0x20000;
protected override CreateParams CreateParams
{
get
{
CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
cp.ClassStyle |= CS_DROPSHADOW;
return cp;
}
}

Windows Forms is not WPF, so why are you surprised that it doesn't work?
If you really want a shadow on your Windows Forms, perhaps this article may help: Transparent drop shadow in C# (GDI+ and Windows Forms)[^]
