# How to: Create a Reflection
This example shows how to use a <xref:System.Windows.Media.VisualBrush> to create a reflection. Because a <xref:System.Windows.Media.VisualBrush> can display an existing visual, you can use this capability to produce interesting visual effects, such as reflections and magnification.
## Example
The following example uses a <xref:System.Windows.Media.VisualBrush> to create a reflection of a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border> that contains several elements. The following illustration shows the output that this example produces.

For the complete sample, which includes examples that show how to magnify parts of the screen and how to create reflections, see [VisualBrush Sample](https://github.com/Microsoft/WPF-Samples/tree/master/Graphics/VisualBrush).
