Drag and Drop in WPF not working for DataFormats.FileDrop

Question

I am developing WPF application, with severals drag and drop support.

In my application has several controls: listView_A, listView_B, and radioButtons.

my drag and drop works if I drag item from listView_A -> listView_B, listView_A -> radioButtons etc.

But I am unable to drag file from windows to all of these controls (listview and radiobuttons), it just display a "no entry" cursor.

All of the controls has "AllowDrop" set to True.

I had tried all options I had, please help.

Ok, I understand, is because of the privilege thing, if I run in debug mode, it is not working; but if I build it and run from the bin folder, it works. So I assume the deliverable will work too. – VHanded Dec 06 '10 at 09:10
