    The drag and drop feature where we drag files from our local folders and drop them into any windows application to either launch the file, upload it etc is very common and well supported. But I have a requirement by a client who wants this very feature in the ASP.NET web application which we have provided them with. THey want to be able to drag and drop e-mail attachments from outlook directly on to the web form which should then process this file and upload it to the web server. Guys I really think this is too optimistic :-), but is there some way that this can be done.. Any comments will be much appreciated..

      Yes, it can be done, but only if the web app is running a browser plug in, i.e. if every user of the page is willing to allow a plugin to be trusted and installed. Then you can support drag and drop on that plugin's page area only.

        Tks a lot for a quick reply! After your reply I googled for such plug-ins but I am unable to locate any. If you have any links for such plug-ins or any more info please let me know.

          I've seen it done, but I don't have any source code, sorry.
