I'm doing some drag and drop code using DevExpress's XtraGrid.
I'm new to C#, but really like the DevExpress Tools. A buddy showed
me some code he had written in C++ a few years ago that implemented
CreateDragImage, and I like the look it gives. Can anyone point me in the
right direction for using this with an XtraGrid Control?

I've already opened an issue with them asking how to go about it.
But since it usually takes 24 hours to have one of my questions reviewed
and answered on their site, I thought I'd ask here as well.

And man, I'm glad I did.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful, courteous answer.

I'm moving to C# from Clarion. I've worked for years with Clarion,
and spent a lot of time in the Clarion Newsgroups. I'm glad there
are folks here that want to make me feel at home with comments like
this one that are about as helpful as RTFM.

I was hoping that someone here had gone through this issue, and could point
me to the documentation that put them on the right path.

Your original question was:

"Can anyone point me in the right direction for using this with an XtraGrid
Control?"

Peter's reply did exactly that. I fail to see why you would be offended by
it. He is 100% right in that questions regarding third-party WinForms
controls are best asked using whatever channels that third-party
established. In case of DevExpress, you aren't limited to a support ticket -
they also have forums (http://community.devexpress.com/forums/), where you
would get plenty of readers knowledgeable with their products in particular,
and where such discussions are on-topic.

On the other hand, this is a group that is, at least in theory, dedicated to
C# _language_. While there isn't any enforcement of this, discussion of
third-party libraries, especially when they're not directly related to C#
(for a broad meaning of this - e.g. I would consider LinqBridge to qualify),
is rather offtopic.

Pavel,

If I was out of line, then I apologize. I understand this is a C#
news group. And over the past 15 years I've grown accustomed to
excellent peer support in the Clarion Newsgroups. They're a tight knit
group that, for the most part, are very open and forthcoming with
help and advice. Since the behavior I was looking for isn't part of the
third party tool, I was looking for advice on implementing that behavior.

I saw his reply as a flippant response to a serious question. If this
newsgroup
is dedicated to pure C# with nothing else thrown in the mix, then I'm in the
wrong
place. We use C#, C++, and Clarion in our solutions. With a mixture of third
party
tools when their use saves us time or money. No matter which language I use,
I'm sure that won't change. I thought I was in a Newsgroup of C#
programmers, both experienced and novices, that were here to gain knowledge
and to help out when they could. I just hope that when I respond to
questions when asked, I'm able help solve the issue.

I've found the solution to my original issue, and was going to post
what I found here. But since this is a pure C# NG, I'll stay on topic and
leave it off of here.
But if others have this issue in the future and wish to find the answer,
they can feel free to message me and I'll pass it along to them.

Marty
