Blur the background of the WPF container

by

no, it is not possible. The Effect is applied to the element and all its children but you can easily place the TextBlock outside the container, rather than inside it.

Normally you would use a grid like so:

<Grid>
  <Border>
     <Border.Effect>
      <BlurEffect Radius="5" KernelType="Gaussian"/>
     </Border.Effect/>
  </Border>
  <TextBlock .../>
</Grid>

In your example that will make no difference though. What, exactly, are you trying to blur?
