I have to drop a shadow to the right and bottom of uiview.Im doing this in interface builder.But I see the shadow dropped to top of it.Tried differnt sizes.but couldn't get it.

layer.masksToBound=No
layer.shadowOpacity=0.15
layer.shadowRadius=2
layer.shadowOffSet={10,-10}   //Values being set in Interfacebuilder.

Still this drops shadow at top.What should I do to get at bottom of view.

Try the following code, it might help you

    myView.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor purpleColor].CGColor;

    myView.layer.shadowOpacity = 1;
    myView.layer.shadowRadius = 1.0;
    myView.layer.maskToBounds = NO;

I tested this code and it's working and output is:
