Drag and drop Images outside wpf Application - wpf

Good afternoon,
I've invested many and many topics about drag & dropping file but I didn't find a solution to my problem. The situation is the following one:
I've got Images which are in my wpf application as Resource. What I want to do is to drag and drop them when they're displayed in my app to another outside program.
Is it only possible to do that with wpf application or should I go with another solution ?
Thanks in advance,
Gronjus

How to implement a Silverlight Control for time table(scheduler)

My company is going to development drag and drop feature in Silverlight. We are very new to Silverlight and just learnt SL for a week ago. But I believe the feature that my company wants can be done in Silverlight. The control about is about the time table in which the resource will be shifted around.
Here is the feature detail. We have one list box on left (resource list) and one table on the right. What we want to do is drag an item from the list onto the table then may have some data manipulation on table. I think it’s simple and but for me I don’t know how to create the table which is I think there is no built in control like this. Please take a look my screenshot below.

My questions are:
How can we approach to achieve this
feature?
What is the best way to implement
this control?
How we can handle the event such as
drop, reload, bind and so on?
How can we select and drag cell on
table?
Yes, Silverlight can do that. It has drag-drop and rich support for creating custom user controls.
The Telerik RadControls for Silverlight have a control that does some of what you need. They also make source available.
You might want to research all the available third party controls first to save development cost.
There are too many questions in your question to answer. Best do your research and then ask specific questions.
The Telerik control is called RadScheduleView and can be seen here: http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#ScheduleView/FirstLook. It has nice performance and a lot of features.
We are also using Telerik RadScheduleView .It is simple and lot of demos for you to start.

Starting out Silverlight 4 design

I come from mainly a web development background (ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, XHTML, CSS etc) but have been tasked with creating/designing a Silverlight application. The application is utilising Bing Maps control for Silverlight, this will be contained in a user control and will be the 'main' screen in the system.
There will be numerous other user controls on the form that will be used to choose/filter/sort/order the data on the map. I think of it like Visual Studio: the Bing Maps will be like the code editor window and the other controls will be like Solutions Explorer, Find Results etc. (although a lot less of them!)
I have read up and I'm comfortable with the data side (RIA-Services) of the application. I've (kinda) got my head around databinding and using a view model to present data and keep the code behind file lite.
What I do need some help on is UI design/navigation framework, specifically 2 aspects:
How do I best implement a fluid design so that the various user controls which filter the map data can be resized/pinned/unpinned (for example, like the Solution Explorer in VS)? I made a test using a Grid with a GridSplitter control, is this the best way? Would it be best to create a Grid/Gridsplitter with Navigation Frames inside the grid to load the content?
Since I have multiple user controls that basically use the same set of data, should I set the dataContext at the highest possible level (e.g. if using a grid with multiple frames, at the Grid level?).
Any help, tips, links etc. will be very much appreciated!
Microsoft has created a great community site for helping people get started with both design and Silverlight here: http://www.microsoft.com/design/toolbox/
It may be far more than what you need for your current project, but it definitely will give you the training you need to master Design with Silverlight.

WPF solution design of slideshow application

Been thinking about this for hours now. Im building a simple slideshow application, where the user creates slides through a web application and publishes them to a wpf "player". The user is allowed to create two types of slides one based on html and one based on xaml (thought this would be easy).
When i get the slide to the player i have to determine how to render/load the slide. The HTML slide i convert to xaml (code i found on msdn) as a flowdocument (but now what to do with it?). The Xaml i just get in "raw" xaml.
My plan is to convert both of these to xaml, then have the slide load the xaml in someway and display it, but how? And would this setup be the proper architecture? please bear in mind that this is a small player application.
Any help on either architecture or on how to display these are highly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Brian
Look at the Slide.Show project from Vertigo. It a WPF project released under codeplex. It may give you ideas on the design.
Why not just display them in the web page? There are a huge number of slideshow applications for the web already.

Image drag and drop in wpf application

I want to drag and drop an image on wpf application form. Can anyone provide me the code and other links for that?
If you want to D&D within a single WPF application; then this code should get you going:
Drag and Drop within WPF
If you want to D&D between WPF applications, or between another non-WPF application you've got some options, but probably the easiest is to use a bitmap transfer (it takes a bit more code, so let me know and I'll publish it).

Creating a winforms app that allows drag and dropping of custom 'widgets'

I want to create a winforms application, this application will be similiar to the vs.net winforms designer (in certain aspects).
Basically it is going to be a blank page, where the user can drag and drop a bunch of 'widget's onto the screen. The widgets are basically custom images that I will create, that the user can resize, and it has some text on it by default which the user can double click on it to change the text.
Is this doable in winforms? If yes, what are the key aspects that I have to learn?
This is pretty easy to do in WinForms. Check out basic drag and drop. It's targeted toward 2.0. You'll use the DoDragDrop() method and capture data in drag and drop events. It requires some verbosity, but it gets the job done.
If you're keen on using WPF, take a look at MSDN's topic.
