drag and drop from Outlook to dot net framework application

Hi! Please point me to the correct discussion if I am off base.

We are beta testing a new Dot Net Framework application that allows us to
upload documents of different file types for online storage with each of our
transactions. We can easily drag and drop email attachments to the new
application, but we cannot seem to drag and drop an email msg from Outlook.

I suspect this may have something to do with security. We are able to export
and save the email msg as a text file, and upload that, or drag and drop text
directly from the email msg but this does not transfer any header info. The
direct method would be far simpler and more timesaving.

We know drag and drop is a possibility, as you are able to drag and drop an
email msg file to the desktop for instance. I am correct? Is this issue
actually a
security function to prevent malicious code troubles?

Best Regards,
Ellen

Can anyone point me to how I would drag and drop a hyperlink from my C# application into Outlook? I can pass the URL as text, and Outlook 2003 recognizes it as a URL and activates the link, however, I would like to have the display text be different from the actual URL (some of my urls can get pretty long, and I don't want to confuse our users). So, for example string a_url = "http://blah.blah.blah"; DoDragDrop(a_url,...

Hello, I was curious, is it possible to create drag and drop interface from listbox to listbox on a webform application (i.e. vb.net)? Basically the application would need to load multiple listboxes with values from a database, allow the user to drag and drop from a listbox to a different listbox and would 'move' the item and update the database accordingly? If so, would anyone have any examples of how to do this?

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,...
