    Download the DragCanvas.cs from here
    its inherited from Canvas control give it a transparent background, and it’ll do the job for you.

    You can also add a DragCanvas as child to another DragCanvas and move many controls at the same time

    <Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication2"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>

    <local:DragCanvas Background="Green">
        <Grid Canvas.Left="48" Canvas.Top="57">
            <Image Source="cursor_drag_arrow.png" Margin="233,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="33" Width="29"></Image>
        <Button Content="Button" x:Name="btn" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="52" Margin="110,77,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="124"/>
            <Button Content="Button" x:Name="btn_Copy" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="52" Margin="10,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="124"/>
        </Grid>
    </local:DragCanvas>
</Grid>
</Window>
