No longer Jonesin' for winforms drag-n-drop

I love drag-n-drop.  I think every widget should have a drag-n-drop event, if only to display a message box saying, "What do you think you're dragging and dropping on me??  Fool!"  It's another of winforms' draws for me--that, and I don't have to blog about AJAX.  Heh-heh.

I've been Jonesin' for drag-n-drop.  Jonesin'!  And now that I'm a hardcore winforms coder now (though only a newb), DragDrop is just another event, another method, a few more curly cues.

JFO posts an excellent article titled "Handling DragDrop in 5 minutes."  The MSDN DragDrop info to which JFO links is pretty good, too.

Hey, Tim!  Thanks for the bent smiley.  But nothing on Ajax DragDrop capabilities?  You dissappointed me, Big Guy.  Hey, you sure generated a lot of buzz with your Ajax Amazon contest.  I think it's hooey and that you're a major scam artist, but that's just me.  Good luck!!!

Hey Dave,   Well - thanks for the complement I - I think.  Being major at something - well, that's got to be good.  Never can tell sometimes with your sense of humour.  Have another bent smiley.  :-P

Anyways - you want to see some AJAX drag and drop?  I'd love to point some out to you.  Have a look at:

- 3 samples on http://script.aculo.us/drag-and-drop
- Drop in, drop out - http://script.aculo.us/demos/shop
- Free stuff from Component Art - webui30.componentart.com/.../WebForm1.aspx

Thanks for the wish of luck!

For the record, Mr. Haines, my previous comment was all in jest and that in opinion you are all things honorable.  I always had "browser issues" and must apologize for my misdirected UI passions.

Now I must check out these new DragDrop examples.
