Is it possible to have a WPF window/element detect the drag’n’dropping of a file from windows explorer in C# .Net 3.5? I’ve found solutions for WinForms, but none for WPF.

Unfortunately, TextBox, RichTextBox, and FlowDocument viewers always mark drag-and-drop events as handled, which prevents them from bubbling up to your handlers. You can restore drag-and-drop events being intercepted by these controls by force-handling the drag-and-drop events (use UIElement.AddHandler and set handledEventsToo to true) and setting e.Handled to false in your handler.
