Drag-and-Drop Operations and Clipboard Support

.NET Framework 4.5

You can enable user drag-and-drop operations within a Windows-based application by handling a series of events, most notably the DragEnter, DragLeave, and DragDrop events.

You can also implement user cut/copy/paste support and user data transfer to the Clipboard within your Windows-based applications by using simple method calls.
