DragnDrop file in DataGridView

Question

I have the following DataGrid of name gridOperations. I have set AllowDrop to true, and used the following code:

private void gridOperations_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{

    if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop))
    {
        var files = (string[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop);
        foreach (var filePath in files)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(filePath);
        }
    }

}

private void gridOperations_DragEnter(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop))
        e.Effect = DragDropEffects.All;
    else
        e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;
}

but when I try to drag file into the DataGrid, it gives me the 'STOP' cursor. What am I doing wrong?

Is is possible because it's binded to List?

Basically what I need is to get the filename from file dragged into the datagrid and determinate in which cell its dragged into.

Answer 1

Are your grid and all the parent controls enabled?

Your code is correct and it works. The only thing I can think of is that your GridView may not be enabled. Can you change the current row of the grid by clicking when the application is running?
