Hello Damon,

Thank you for writing. 

You can find below a sample code snippet demonstrating how to access the start/end date of the dragged task element:
 

this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.DragDropService.PreviewDragStart += DragDropService_PreviewDragStart;

private void DragDropService_PreviewDragStart(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.PreviewDragStartEventArgs e)
{
    GanttViewTaskElement taskElement = e.DragInstance as GanttViewTaskElement;
    if (taskElement != null)
    {
        e.CanStart = true;
        GanttViewDataItem item = ((GanttViewTaskItemElement)taskElement.Parent).Data;
        Console.WriteLine("Start: " + item.Start + " End: " + item.End);
    }
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.
