Is it possible to drag and drop an item from outlook mail/desktop to a windows form

Hi,
Is it possible to drag and drop an item (word document, notepad) from the desktop or from outlook mail box to a windows form, similar to drag and drop available in our windows explorer. i have a requirement in my project where i have to drag and drop an outlook mail from inbox to a windows form, after that i have to recognize the type of object placed in the form and make appropriate action in my code.

Is is possible to develop an application similar to an exploere in VB.Net. can any one help me on this.

Yes, but what you need to do depends greatly on what kind of item you D+D. You can't drag "notepad". Please be specific about what kind of items you want to drag.
