Hello

I want to drag and drop a file in my Listbox and after pressing a button, this file should be copied to another Path.

C#

public void DropBox_Drop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop))
            {
                DropBox.Items.Clear();
                
                string[] droppedFilePaths = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop, true) as string[];

                foreach (string droppedFilePath in droppedFilePaths)
                {
                    ListBoxItem fileItem = new ListBoxItem();

                    fileItem.Content = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(droppedFilePath);
                    fileItem.ToolTip = droppedFilePath;

                    DropBox.Items.Add(fileItem);
                }
            }
        }

Button:

C#

private void CleanButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
       { 
            string CC= Convert.ToString("C://Users//James//Desktop//VB//Pictures");       
            string hallo =Convert.ToString(e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop));
       

          System.IO.File.Copy(hallo, CC);
         //   MessageBox.Show("Kopieren erfolgreich!");
       }

That dosent work. How can I get the path?

Hello,

I would use a variable to store the path, then use it in the button event.

This is because the button event arg is not the same as the drop method event args, you cannot reuse it.

C#

private string _droppedFilePath;

 public void DropBox_Drop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
 {
     if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop))
     {
         DropBox.Items.Clear();

         string[] droppedFilePaths = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop, true) as string[];

         foreach (string droppedFilePath in droppedFilePaths)
         {
             ListBoxItem fileItem = new ListBoxItem();

             fileItem.Content = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(droppedFilePath);
             fileItem.ToolTip = droppedFilePath;

             DropBox.Items.Add(fileItem);

             _droppedFilePath = droppedFilePath;
         }
     }
 }

private void CleanButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
     string CC= Convert.ToString("C://Users//James//Desktop//VB//Pictures");

     System.IO.File.Copy(_droppedFilePath, CC);
  //   MessageBox.Show("Kopieren erfolgreich!");
}
