Can we drop a file in windows explorer from WPF window?

Question

I have a treeview that shows the current file system. I want to add functionality to enable dropping files into windows explorer. If I drag any of the node of my treeview and drop it on any of the window of Windows explorer then the file will be copied to that location. How can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

First read this about how to implement drag and drop in WPF.

The read this for some information about what explorer expects when you drop in it.

Then ask new questions if you still have any.
