I have an application in silverlight 5. I use c1datagrid in our application. I want to drag and drop items from Desktop to our c1datagrid rows and while doing that I want to highlight that particular row in which I am dropping.
One can Drag and drop in a silverlight application. Check "Require Elevated permissions" in silverlight project properties and using drop event of silverlight datagrid one can handle the drag and drop from desktop in a silverlight datagrid provided its not an OOB silverlight application.
private void DocumentsDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = true;
var point = e.GetPosition(null);
var dataGridRow = ExtractDataGridRow(point);
if(dataGridRow !=null)
{.....
}
var droppedItems = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop) as FileInfo[];
if (droppedItems != null)
{
var droppedDocumentsList = new List<FileInfo>();
foreach (var droppedItem in droppedItems)
{
if ((droppedItem.Attributes & FileAttributes.Directory) == FileAttributes.Directory)
{
var directory = new DirectoryInfo(droppedItem.FullName);
droppedDocumentsList.AddRange(directory.EnumerateFiles("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories));
}
else
{
droppedDocumentsList.Add(droppedItem);
}
}
if (droppedDocumentsList.Any())
{
ProcessFiles(droppedDocumentsList);
}
else
{
DisplayErrorMessage("The selected folder is empty.");
}
}
}
Set AllowDrop =true; in xaml for the datagrid. From the DragEventArgs extract the information as FileInfo Object.
