I’m working on re-writing a WinForms application into Silverlight. One use case in the WinForms app allows users to drag TIFF images (of faxes) from Outlook directly onto an “attach an image or fax to this case” control in the WinForms app. Is there a Silverlight 4 control which allows for the same functionality? It’s important to realize that saving the file to the local filesystem and then selecting and uploading the file with a standard upload control will not meet the business requirements as outlined in the project.

    Silverlight 4 does support the dragging and dropping of files from the file system to any UIElement. See this blog

    However whether this will work with drags initiatedin Outlook I don’t know. I suggest you get the sample from this blog and build a little test app so see if you can drag the attachments.

    Of course you’ve still got the work to decode TIFF into a bitmap that Silverlight can use.
