Hello Manas,

We have our generic drag and drop manager which allows you to drag any control that does not handle the mouse on mouse down (I.e. any control except buttons, thumbs and combo boxes).

You can find a recent blog post where non-Telerik controls are being dragged/dropped here:

http://blogs.telerik.com/blogs/posts/09-08-18/raddrag_drop_with_a_canvas_twist.aspx

Also the controls demos show some of the things that are built or how they can be achieved:

We can help you with advnice on a particular scenario that you want to enable.

Kind regards,
Miroslav

Hi Miroslav,
I'll explain my scenario.In an application of Timesheet entries from temps(employees) we want to give ui builder option to the user to create the timesheet.Time duration can be weekly,monthly or custom defined.We were thinking of making custom controls(with standard aspx table) specific for each duration,which can be dragged and dropped.Please advice on this.
Thanks

Hello Manas,

I suggest you  review our RadScheduler control. It contains Day, Week and Month views. Also this control allows you to create appointments which can be dragged between different time slots and can be customized to display custom data.

Do not hesitate to ask us any questions you may have.
