        Dim Files() As String
        If (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop)) Then
            Try
                Files = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop)

            If (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop)) Then
                e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy
            Else

I tested this in Win8.1 and it seems to run the code.
Did you set the AllowDrop property to true?

[Dummy1912]

hello #mandai

yes because i used this app in win 7 before i had win 8
weird why does it not working for me?

[Dummy1912]

so i guess no one has an idea?
so sad :(

Are you fully up-to-date with your .NET libraries and VS installation?

Also create a new project and try your code within it, it could be a build issue related to your project from Win7 :?

[Dummy1912]

hello #CodenStuff
we already tried that
but seems the weird part is when i debug the project
i can drop any file
but when i execute the project i can't drop anything :?

[Dummy1912]

its seems when we build the app in release folder
we can drop files
not in debug folder.

but when we run the app as admin we can't drop files anymore :?
anyone a solution why?

[CodenStuff]

I honestly have no idea, Dummy1912.

It could be UAC related, I found a few similar posts from people having the same problem on some other sites.

[Dummy1912]

hello #CodenStuff

well it even seems i can't open the UAC anymore
i even tried to run gpedit.msc but even that is missing

weird windows 8.1 it worked before i only turned that UAC off the first time of run
now i need to find a way to fix it again grrrrrrr

[Dummy1912]

So after resetting and reinstalling windows 8.1 again
we have the UAC back but still same problem can't drop files when running as admin.

so now we are waiting on msdn technical support what to do
and lets hope
but i don't think it will do anything with UAC because if so
then all users have to turn this option off
:?

and we already tried that to set UAC off but didn't work either and when we wanted to turn it back to default we could restore the UAC again so weird windows 8.1
