I am not sure about doing this from WPF but from windows forms used to work more or less like this:

private void listView1_ItemDrag(object sender, 
        System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs e)
{
    string[] files = GetSelection();
    if(files != null)
    {
        DoDragDrop(new DataObject(DataFormats.FileDrop, files), 
                   DragDropEffects.Copy | 
                   DragDropEffects.Move);
    }
}

the important thing is to specify DataFormats.FileDrop and initiate the DoDragDrop... with some changes I guess you should get it working from WPF

Sorry, The listview in WPF doesn't provide ItemDrag Event – HIA YongKuy Sep 10 '11 at 14:54
