Demonstrates
This sample has three examples of drag-and-drop.
TextBox Demonstrates how to prevent a drop on a control. You can drag text from one TextBox control to two others, one of which does not have the AllowDrop property set to True.
TreeView Demonstrates how to move nodes from one TreeView control to another.
PictureBox Demonstrates how to copy images. You can drag images from one PictureBox to another. The AllowDrop property does not appear in the Properties window, and so is set to True in the code.
The data to be dragged should be an instance of the String, Bitmap, or MetaFile class, or an object that implements the ISerializable or IDataObject interface.
