Is there, in silverlight, the ability to drag and drop files from the desktop into the browser? I seem to remember seeing something about it being a feature in silverlight 3.

I looked into this recently, and based on a post from a Silverlight MVP in the following thread, Silverlight 3 does not support file system drag and drop.

It appears Silverlight 4 now supports this:
