How to Drag and Drop Files to a DataGridView and record the file names into the cells C#?

Question

I have created a binded DataGridView that has one single column. I want to be able to drag and drop files onto the DataGridView and store only the filenames (Path and Name) into the cells of the column. I have been doing research and the way to do it is to use the events DragDrop and DragEnter and have tried a couple different things but none have worked. Does anyone know how to do this? My code: ``` private void PlaylistDataGridDragEnter(object sender, DragEventArgs e) { if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop)) e.Effect = DragDropEffects.All; else e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None; } private void PlaylistDataGridDragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e) { if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop)) { var files = (string[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop); foreach (var filePath in files) { var a = (DataRowView) PlaylistBindingSource.AddNew(); a.BeginEdit(); a[0] = filePath; a.EndEdit(); } } } ```

Accepted Answer

You'll need to implement the DragEnter and DragDrop events like you say. Here is a good article on how to do this. You added your code as I was typing. You just need to adjust how you add items to your DataGridView. You need to add a new row and then address the last row:

```
PlaylistDataGrid.Rows.Add();
PlayListDataGrid[0,PlaylistDataGrid.RowCount-1].Value = filePath
```

This assumes you want to put the data in the first column of the DataGridView.
