I have the scenario where I have a listbox bound to a collection of viewmodels, from which I want to drag to a gridview, upon dropping they will be converted to a second ViewModel and added to the gridviews collection.

I would like to perform these actions in the overall viewmodel itself... the docs state:

Subscribe to the DropQuery and DropInfo events for gridview. You can do that in two ways. The first way is to subscribe in the XAML:

but im afraid im not familiar/smart enough to know what I need to code to subscribe these events to a method or command on the viewmodels?

In the meantime im coding it up with code behind, but I would really like to move these actions to the viewmodels

any help greatly appreciated

Hello Michael,

 Since, GridViewCells uses same infrastructure of RadDragAndDopManager, adding handlers on the RadGridView itself might interfere with the normal grouping behavior. To ensure that this logic is executed correctly the following code needs to be added in each Drag/Drop handler:
