   try
   {
     if (e.LeftButton == System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonState.Pressed)
     {
        Point position = e.GetPosition(null);
        if (Math.Abs(position.X - this.startPoint.X) > SystemParameters.MinimumHorizontalDragDistance || Math.Abs(position.Y - this.startPoint.Y) > SystemParameters.MinimumVerticalDragDistance)
        {
          DataRowView treeViewItem = this.treeViewGroups.SelectedItem as DataRowView;
          if (treeViewItem != null)
          if ((treeViewItem.Row.Table.TableName == "TableGroup"))
          {
             ViewTaxSCConstants.dragElement = treeViewItem;
             Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Render, new System.Threading.ParameterizedThreadStart(DoDragDrop), treeViewItem);                                
           }
        }
     }

I think this is a good method for Drag & Drop

A good way for darg and drop are explained as

Detect a drag as a combinatination of MouseMove and MouseLeftButtonDown

Find the data you want to drag and create a DataObject that contains the format, the data and the allowed effects.

Initiate the dragging by calling DoDragDrop()

Set the AllowDrop property to True on the elements you want to allow dropping.

Register a handler to the DragEnter event to detect a dragging over the drop location. Check the format and the data by calling GetDataPresent() on the event args. If the data can be dropped, set the Effect property on the event args to display the appropriate mouse cursor.

When the user releases the mouse button the DragDrop event is called. Get the data by calling the GetData() method on the Data object provided in the event args.
