Drag and drop from Windows File Explorer onto a Windows Form is not working

Question

I\'m having an issue dragging a file from Windows Explorer on to a Windows Forms application.

It works fine when I drag text, but for some reason it is not recognizing

Answer 1

The code you posted should work.

Try putting this at the beginning of the DragEnter method

string formats = string.Join( "\n", e.Data.GetFormats(false) );
MessageBox.Show( formats );

which will dump data formats associated with the d'n'd operation. Might help us narrowing down where the problem lies.
