Drag and drop in XBAP

Hi

May I know whether the XBAP applications can support drag and drop

When I tried drag and drop in a custom control I got SecurityException upon hosting in XBAP appln.

Detials: Request for the permission of type Permissions.UIPermission failed.

on line DataObject do=new DataObject("Item",this); which resides as follows.

class MyControl :ContentControl{

override MouseDown(..){

on line DataObject do=new DataObject("Item",this); //Uses this do obj to call method DoDragDrop() later

}

}

Please let me know ,how to avoid this.Are there any other good practices to do the same

Thanks in Advance

Joy

    Hi Joy,

    According to this article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970910.aspx

    Simulated drag-n-drop is supported.  However, drag-n-drop is not safe to run within the Internet Zone.
