I am trying to create a universal Behavior for my application for DragNDrop using your infrastructure.

I would like to bind an items datacontext to a property of my DragDropBehavior but your abstract class inherits from DependencyObject instead of FrameworkElement so it doesn't work.

Can you change this class:
public abstract class DragDropBehavior<TState> : DependencyObject, IDragDropBehavior<TState> where TState : DragDropState

To this in the future:
public abstract class DragDropBehavior<TState> : FrameworkElement, IDragDropBehavior<TState> where TState : DragDropState

Hi Jason,

You can accomplish that by implementing the IDragDropBehavior interface and inheriting from FrameworkElement, which should give you the functional requirements that you have. 

Let me know if you need any help doing it!

I had coded up a whole class doing just that but I couldn't figure out how to get it to work in the Xaml.

Do you have an example that shows how to apply a behavior from a Custom Class that implements IDragDropBehavior interface?

Also would I lose the built in Adorner logic, or does that come along for free?

Thanks,

Jason

Hello Jason,

Unfortunately the Generig DragDropBehavior class cannot be used directly in XAML this is a limitation of the framework itself. To use it there you have to inherit from the generic class and use the derived class definition instead. 

As to the adorner logic, I am not sure to what you are referring exactly. Can you clarify?

Looking forward to your reply!
