[Solved] Null Value OnDropQuery ItemSource

[Vinay]

HI,
I have done the code as specified in the Telerik Documentation... But when i try to Drag a Item from ListBox1 to ListBox2 i get an error stating 'Object Referance not set to an Instance of an object' in the OnDropQuery method.

Below is my code, I am getting Data From RIA Service.
In the Below code i am getting Null value in ItemSource specified in DropQuery method...
IList<Customer> itemsSource = box.ItemsSource as IList<Customer>;
