Drag and Drop image from browser to WPF Application

Question

I\'m trying to implement functionality in my WPF application to drag an image out of a browser and into a window in my WPF app.

The code works fine with Firefox and Win

Answer 1

You can use the FileGroupDescriptorW and FileContent formats to get your data.

• FileGroupDescriptorW is an array of FileDescriptors' that describe your data (e.g.: name, size, modified-time, ...)
• FileContent contains your file contents.

If you don't care about the filename and just need the binary content you could use

var filestream = (MemoryStream[])dataObject.GetData("FileContents");

If you want a more in-dept-tutorial on how to use the FileGroupDescriptor(W) I can recommend this tutorial on codeproject.com. It talks about drag&drop from MS Outlook, but it uses the same IDataObject formats.
