Hello,
I want to perform my own custom logic whenever an item is dragged/dropped. This procedure requires me to access the item's parent. I noticed that when I drag items and then drop them, in the RadTreeView.DragEnded event, the item's ParentItem property becomes null and the FullPath string property is also cleared.
Is this the correct event to handle for my custom logic (i.e. performing the "drop" in the business logic)? If so, how can I get the item's parent before it was dragged (i.e. its current parent).
Thank you.

The parent item does indeed appear in that event. However, I want an event where I can implement my "drop" logic. For example, the drag started event is fired as soon as the drag starts. So the user might end up dragging an item and then canceling the drag or picking an invalid item to drag into. Is there an event that is only called when the item is being dropped? The drag ended event that I chose to handle is only fired when a drop is successful.

Hello Ziad,
Actually in your case it will be best if you use the PreviewDragEnded event. When this event is raised the dragged items are still not removed from their original parents and you can implement your logic there.

Thank you Valentin, the PreviewDragEnded event works as expected.
