Question

I have an upload/download web service that I created with WCF. Im using c sharp as the language.

I have allow drop enabled on my textbox that accepts the items to be dragged into it, but it does not allow me to do it, I still get that no sign hovering over it.

Is there something that Im missing?
FYI I made another program using the exact same code and I was able to drag and drop items no problem.

    private void FileTextBox_DragEnter(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
    {
        //Makes sure that the user is dropping a file, not text
        if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop, false) == true)
            //Allows them to continue
            e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy;
        else
            e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;
    }





    private void FileTextBox_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
    {
        String[] files = (String[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop);

        foreach (string file in files)
        {
            FileTextBox.Text = file.ToString();
        }
    }

these aren’t the only code that you need. you will need:

FileTextBox.AllowDrop = true;
FileTextBox.DragEnter += new DragEventHandler (FileTextBox_DragEnter);
FileTextBox.DragDrop += new DragEventHandler (FileTextBox_DragDrop);

Of course, if you’re using an IDE, you can achieve this by assigning the handlers in the form designer.
