Shadows on shapes

Hi,
I'm creating some user controls that are in different shapes. When doing
this I use this.region to set the shape that I want and then I use
graphics.DrawRectangle (or whatever shape I have) to get a border around the
control.

However, I would like some more "depth" in my controls by using a small
shadow on the right and lower side of the shape. I know I can do this by
putting a very thin rectangle with a gradient brush next to the shape, but
is there an easier way? This can be quite tricky (and sometimes impossible!)
with complex shapes.

Thanks,

Mats-Lennart
