.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / January 2007Drag-n-Drop to Folder or Desktop
I have a form that displays a list of bitmaps. I have read the MSDN docs regarding drag-n-drop operations, and have reviewed some examples online on how to do this, but the examples I have seen thus far only show how to create an internet shortcut file. When the user drags an image from the form to the desktop, I would like to either save the image using a default filename (if possible) or show the Save As dialog so the user can enter a name for the file themselves. So, the form with my images (which are in-memory bitmaps and are not stored on the file system) needs to be able to have the images dragged from the ListView control (which are ListViewItem's of course) and dropped onto a specified folder or the desktop (actual folder or desktop, not part of my app)... Thanks, Mythran Mythran, I've been diging into this problem couple of years ago. Back then I end up with the conculsion that this is not possible in .NET (at least not at reasonable mout of work). I posted back then my findings in the newsgroup, but unfortunately I cannot find the post right now and I don't remember any details. Just keep in mind that this might not be possible with .NET.

Mythran That's what I found back then for .NET 1.x I don't know if there is something new in .NET2.0 that could help with this. We all will apprecaite if you post your solution if you find one. I didn't want to discourage you, just wanted to warn you in case you decide to change you design instead of spending a lot of money and time solving this.

I just wanted to drag-n-drop the images onto a folder and then have the program create the images in this folder...I can do it by creating temporary files and using the DragDropEffects.Copy effect and use the DataFormats.FileDrop data format and specify the temporary file path as the data...this should do the trick! :) :) Cheers, Mythran Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
