visualbrush

I need a rectangle in my settings window to display a scaled down version of of the main window. This is the non-working code that I have right now. Is it possible to do what I want to do?

<Rectangle.Fill>
<VisualBrush Stretch="Uniform" Visual="{Binding ElementName=local:MainWindow}" />
</Rectangle.Fill>
