ItemsControl Drag Drop Behavior for WPF

As a noob to Silverlight (and Windows development in general):

How do I install this thingy into Expression Blend/ SketchFlow?

I need it for a tutorial I am doing.

Cheers, Bjørn

The download link is to a file with no .zip extension - add the extension and then you can expand it.
This control was built for WPF so it cannot be used in Silverlight app. You use it by adding it as a reference in your project (Add reference, browse to DLL).
Bjørn - I too am looking for the DragDropItem behavior referenced in module 9 of the snowboard online videos for SketchFlow. Apparently, this is a custom behavior they used in the MIX presentations and I can't find it anywhere!!!
If you stop the video (09_BLN03SP1EN720_Working_with_Behaviors_in_SketchFlow) when he selects the behavior you can see that it is custom cause the flyout is different, says "Snowboard_Mix_Screens" and the DLL is Expression.Prototype.Screens.dll in his local c:\users\admin\sketchflow_starter_kit folder. This is not included in the Assets of the Prototyping_with_Sketchflow_StarterKit download so until someone finds it and posts it somewhere, we're out of luck on that part of the tutorial.

Forgive me for asking a probably silly question, but what would this be used for?

Is this something that other programmers would use when creating a program of their own or is it something a regular person could use to organise thier computer files?

I ask as I am looking for a solution or work around to the fact that Auto Arrange can no longer be turned off in Windows 7.

Thanks for this control it works great. One question though, I am using this in my MVVM application and was wondering how I can add additional events / commands? For example I want to know when an item is being added or removed and what item it is. It looks like I need the remove and add item notification in the helper class but can not figure out how to add them? Thanks

Hi there,

sorry for late reply. I don't check this very often. Best way to know if an item is added or removed is to fire an event from the behavior itself. you can expose that event (with the object as an argument) in the behavior and you can subscribe to that in your parent xaml control and handle that. Hope that helps.

Excellent work Edwin. Your inclusion of the DataTemplate property really makes this very complete. I must admit that I have only been pouring over the code and the example for about an hour, so may come up with questions, but so far this appears to be a pretty complete solution.

Thanks! If you can think of ways to improve me, give me a shout.

oops i meant improve it, not improve me :P

Edwin, your example helped me a lot. It really makes the Drag&Drop is very simple. Thanks.
