Detect Drag'n'Drop file in WPF?

Question

Is it possible to have a WPF window/element detect the drag'n'dropping of a file from windows explorer in C# .Net 3.5? I've found solutions for WinForms, but none for WPF.

Try the following :

    private void MessageTextBox_Drop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Data is DataObject && ((DataObject)e.Data).ContainsFileDropList())
        {
            foreach (string filePath in ((DataObject)e.Data).GetFileDropList())
            {
                // Processing here     
            }
        }
    }


    private void MessageTextBox_PreviewDragEnter(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
    {
        var dropPossible = e.Data != null && ((DataObject)e.Data).ContainsFileDropList();
        if (dropPossible)
        {
            e.Effects = DragDropEffects.Copy;
        }
    }

    private void MessageTextBox_PreviewDragOver(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Handled = true;
    }
