Drag and Drop in 30 Seconds

If this doesn’t convince you that it is worthwhile to learn Blend and Behaviors…

1. Open a new phone project in Blend and drag a shape onto the artboard (e.g., an ellipse).
2. Click on Assets –> Behaviors and drag  MouseDragElementBehavior onto your shape
3. There is no step 3.  Run the program.

Note that if you try this with a  Button or other control it won’t work.  But if you put that control inside a Border and then drag MouseDragElementBehavior onto the border, you can then drag the border.
