	I'm trying to implement drag and drop functionality so that calendar items can be dragged into other (non mindfusion) control. I've got it so that it starts the drop operation, but can't work out the code to capture what has been dragged onto the new control. I'm experimenting with code like : e.Data.GetData(System.Windows.Forms.DataFormats.StringFormat).ToString in the "dragenter" event for the control, but this doesn't get me anything. As you may have guessed, I'm not very familiar with implementing drag and drop - can somebody point me in the right direction ? Thanks in advance Simon

	Hi Simon, Only thing is that we use the dragged calendar item itself as the data object and not a string. So the code in your case should be: Code ... if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(typeof(Appointment))) { Appointment draggedItem = e.Data.GetData(typeof(Appointment)) as Appointment; string draggedItemHeader = draggedItem.HeaderText; } ... Also ensure that the AllowDrop property of the target control is set to true. You might also have to handle the DragOver event of the target control and set the appropriate drag effect. Regards, Meppy
