I have a basic C# windows forms app where drag and drop of a simple class, no gui, from one tree to another (I store the class instance in the "tag" field of the tree nodes, and drag that) That is working fine within the same app instance. If I start two instances of the same app and try to drag from one app instance to the other, I get the below exception:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Runtime .Serialization. SerializationEx ception' occurred in system.windows. forms.dll
Additional information: The type System.Windows. Forms.DataObjec t in Assembly System.Windows. Forms, Version=1.0.500 0.0, Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= b77a5c561934e08 9 is not marked as serializable.
What I don't understand is that I am calling DoDragDrop on the tree view, but the object I am telling it to dnd is not windows forms derived, and it contains no windows forms reference.
treeView1.Selec tedNode = (TreeNode)e.Ite m;
MyObject objToDrag = (MyObject)((Tre eNode)e.Item).T ag;
treeView1.DoDra gDrop(objToDrag ,DragDropEffect s.Copy|DragDrop Effects.Move);
In the above example, MyObject is marked as Serializable, and I can successfully pass instances of it across a Web Service boundry.
Guessing this has something to do with the TreeView itself?
Thanks in advance!

think this was simply due to the fact that I was debugging one app instance, run both instances outside the IDE and works as expected!

Hi,
I am having problems using drag drop and re-ordering items.
Example:
When I drag and item from position 1 and drag it to position 3, I want
to re-order all the items accordingly. This means an item in position
1 is now is position 3 and item 2 is now in postion 1 and item 3 is in
position 2 and position 4 and 5 stay the same.
I have searched the web.

There seems to be two ways to put things on the clipboard ( I don't mean
different formats): SetClipboardData and OleSetClipboard
If I want to get data off the clipboard do I care how it was put there?
What about Drag/Drop; is there more than one way for the source to make data
available
Is it always OLE?

I have a VS.NET windows application which use drag-drop feather. It works
fine when application start, but stops working after application run one or
two days. The application is related to Video process, CPU/Memory extensive.
The drag-drop is in a new windows form. It drags from TreeView Control to
other control in the same form. It cannot trigger ItemDrag event of TreeView
after drag-drop feather die.
Can you give me any idea? Thanks.

Hi,
I am developping an app using managed C++. I want to be able to do a
drag drop from the app to windows explorer. The files to be dropped
onto explorer do not exist yet, the files are to be created by the app
when the user does the drop into explorer.
I have done some searches and found COleDataSource::DelaySetData could
be useful but this is MFC and I can't find the equivalent in .NET.

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way that I can enable my

I am trying to make the app as user friendly as possable and would
just like the users to be able to drop the file into an area of the
screen and it would just accept the document and maybe prompt if there
is an existing file for that record...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
