To C++ programmers and increased my efficiency by orders of magnitude when I C# has brought the of VB Windows programming Long missed the easy Windows program development of VB when working with C++, my I have written WindowsĬode before, during and now after MFC. I have found C# to be a relatively easy transition from C++Īnd a great boon for speeding up the development process.

Over the last two years begun to transition to C# for all but the highest Having written code for 35 years and C/C++ code for over 25 years, I have Little did I realize that I was about to step into quicksand. Supposed to be easy and I had implemented file drap-and-drop at least twiceīefore in programs, so I saw no reason to not start at the e-mail message.īesides, I figured I could find references on the internet if I had problems.

I could have extracted the file to a directory and thenĭrag-and-drop to the program, this seemed like wasted effort.
#Asp.net filedrop zip file
Since the students were sending their complete solutions for each problem asĪ zipped file via e-mail, logically it made sense to create a solution thatĪllowed me to drag-and-drop the attached zip file direct from the email message Being essentially lazy like all good programmers, I decided to Was spending more time getting the source to do the grading than I was gradingĮach problem. But when ten students did it during week 3, I Source files, open the next solution, etc. Sets for potentially each homework problem, open a solution, print each of the

The issue became the amount of manual work required to extract the "solution" Little did I understand where this would lead me. Quarter, I offered to let the the students e-mail their completed homework to I teach computer programming (C++ mainly) at a local college. Hopefully, others will find this a good template for approaching There are existingĪrticles at the site that cover the introduction to this ThisĪrticle will not teach the fundamentals of drag-and-drop. The purpose of this article is to provide a simple example of how toĭrag-and-drop e-mail attachments from Outlook to a C# Windows Form program. Littleĭid I know that I would be stepping into a relatively unknown area ofĭrag-and-drop technology, especially it appears as it relates to e-mail Program so that I could extract specific types of files to be printed. Recently, I decided to write a quick program that would allow me toĭrag-and-drop an attached zip file from an e-mail message to a C# Windows Form
