How do i create border used to drag controls

[rob]

I'm trying to create a UI which allows to move objects. I
would like to give reall drag and drop feature.. I do not
want to give fake drag and drop.

When the user selects it should create a border and drag
that border and drop it in the form... (just like moving
icons in windows desktop)

Any idea ?

Have a look at the implementation of SharpDevelop's form editor:

Hi Rob,
I had the same issue as you when dragging Panel controls in my
application.

I solved it my doing this:

I have taken the code that was in my DRAGDROP event and COPIED it to my
DRAGOVER event.
This basically drops the control multiple times, but appears smooth to the
user. It does not show an outline, it actually shows the control (which is
better).
