Ok, here's the deal. I'm using a program where a picturebox(a picture of a desktop Inbox/Outbox) will be used to drag a file over to it, and drop it to a specific folder. That's the idea anyway, and I have NO IDEA how to do this. I've got the drag and drop in my file browser working, but I just don't know how to code the drop on the picturebox or even if it's possible to do what I'm trying to do. I like to think that anythings possible! haha but for me right now it's not.

Any ideas, code, or just a general direction to start in would be appreciated.

That would be awesome if I was dragging a picture to a picturebox. However, that is not the case. Let me clear this up a bit. Say there's a file browser on the right and a picturebox on the left. I want to take a file say SomeWordDoc.docx and drag it to the picturebox. When I release the mouse on the picture box, the file will save to a location on the hard drive specified by the picbox.

I've got the drag and drop part down, I just don't know how to get the picbox to save the word doc to a location.

Thanks,
Chris

I understand what you're trying to do I'm planning on doing something like this but a tad differently.
Take a look at http://msdn.microsof...y/sfezx97z.aspx and I'm assuming you already made the mouse release event. So look through the coding behind the link I gave you so "how to save files using SaveFiledialogue component".

or

You could save the file to a specific file location, using:

using(StreamWriter output = new StreamWriter("path\to\your\file")) {
     provider.Export(document, output);
}

Hope I helped
