Drag and drop is not trivial, the code goes in more than one place. However, I would imagine that almost every tutorial on the subject will show you how to do this. Why not search code project for articles, work through one, and ask us ( or the author ) a specific question when you're stuck ?

Just happened across this link. Looks like you would get the file location from the dragdrop operation, then open the file and read it into your textbox or other control.
