    <p>I have been developing an app in VB.NET which requires a control object (for example, a ListViewItem) to be dragged out of the form, and to a user-specified location (for example, on the desktop, or in a folder).</p> <p>However, The file that is intended to be 'copied', as the 'ListViewItem' represents, does not yet exist. It needs to be downloaded and then placed in the user specified location. Am I able to get the path/location of the destination drop? I would then proceed to download the file, and then place it where the use specified.</p> <p>I have looked at other questions regarding a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1935925/drag-drop-of-a-dynamically-created-shortcut">similar issue</a>, which details the dragging operation outside the form, its just there doesn't appear to be a way to determine where that short cut went or how to flag the destination location.</p> <p>Essentially, I am thinking that it may require some sort of 'dynamic link' or 'virtual file' as I've seen mentioned elsewhere. Then, after the drop operation, somehow accessing this 'link' from my application, proceed to download the file and place it in the final drop destination.</p> <p>Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!</p> <p><br /> <strong>OUTCOME:</strong></p> <p>Roger Lipscombe provided a link that contained links to other articles, with what looks to be promising information. The following links may prove useful in implementing a drag drop operation without providing the exact data that is required in managed code.</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/delay/archive/2009/10/26/creating-something-from-nothing-developer-friendly-virtual-file-implementation-for-net.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Delay's Blog; Creating something from nothing</a></li> <li><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/delay/archive/2009/11/04/creating-something-from-nothing-asynchronously-developer-friendly-virtual-file-implementation-for-net-improved.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Delay's Blog; Creating something from nothing, asynchronously</a></li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
