How to Drag and Drop Rows Between WPF DataGrid and WPF ListView?

This example illustrates how to drag and drop rows between WPF DataGrid / UWP DataGrid (SfDataGrid) and ListView.

WPF

To perform dragging between the ListView and DataGrid, by using the GridRowDragDropController.DragStart and GridRowDragDropController.Drop events. And you must set the AllowDrop property as true in the ListView while doing the drag and drop operation from DataGrid with ListView control.

this.dataGrid.RowDragDropController.DragStart += sfGrid_DragStart;
this.dataGrid.RowDragDropController.Drop += sfGrid_Drop;
this.listView.PreviewMouseMove += ListView_PreviewMouseMove;
this.listView.Drop += ListView_Drop;

/// <summary>
/// customize the DragStart event.Restrict the certain record from dragging.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="sender"></param>
/// <param name="e"></param>
private void sfGrid_DragStart(object sender, GridRowDragStartEventArgs e)
{
    var draggingRecords = e.DraggingRecords[0] as OrderInfo;
    if (draggingRecords.CustomerName == "Martin")
    {
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}
       
/// <summary>

/// </summary>
/// <param name="sender"></param>
/// <param name="e"></param>
private void sfGrid_Drop(object sender, GridRowDropEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.IsFromOutSideSource)
    {
        ObservableCollection<object> DraggingRecords = new ObservableCollection<object>();
        if (e.Data.GetDataPresent("ListViewRecords"))
            DraggingRecords = e.Data.GetData("ListViewRecords") as ObservableCollection<object>;
        else
            DraggingRecords = e.Data.GetData("Records") as ObservableCollection<object>;
        var draggingRecords = DraggingRecords[0] as OrderInfo;
        int dropIndex = (int)e.TargetRecord;
        var dropPosition = e.DropPosition.ToString();
        IList collection = AssociatedObject.sfGrid.View.SourceCollection as IList;
        if (dropPosition == "DropAbove")
        {
            dropIndex--;
            collection.Insert(dropIndex, draggingRecords);
        }
        else
        {
            dropIndex++;
            collection.Insert(dropIndex, draggingRecords);
        }
        (AssociatedObject.listView.ItemsSource as ObservableCollection<OrderInfo>).Remove(draggingRecords as OrderInfo);

Drag and drop between DataGrid and ListView in WPF

UWP

To perform dragging between the ListView and SfDataGrid, override the ProcessOnDragOver and ProcessOnDrop methods in the GridRowDragDropController class.

this.datagrid.RowDragDropController = new GridRowDragDropControllerExt();

public class GridRowDragDropControllerExt : GridRowDragDropController
{
    ObservableCollection<object> draggingRecords = new ObservableCollection<object>();

    protected override void ProcessOnDragOver(DragEventArgs args, RowColumnIndex rowColumnIndex)
    {
        if (args.DataView.Properties.ContainsKey("DraggedItem"))
            draggingRecords = args.DataView.Properties["DraggedItem"] as ObservableCollection<object>;

        else

            draggingRecords = args.DataView.Properties["Records"] as ObservableCollection<object>;

        if (draggingRecords == null)
            return;

        var dropPosition = GetDropPosition(args, rowColumnIndex, draggingRecords);

        if (dropPosition == DropPosition.None)
        {
            CloseDragIndicators();
            args.AcceptedOperation = DataPackageOperation.None;
            args.DragUIOverride.Caption = "Can't drop here";
            return;
        }

        else if (dropPosition == DropPosition.DropAbove)
        {
            if (draggingRecords != null && draggingRecords.Count > 1)
                args.DragUIOverride.Caption = "Drop these " + draggingRecords.Count + "  rows above";
            else
            {
                args.AcceptedOperation = DataPackageOperation.Copy;

                args.DragUIOverride.IsCaptionVisible = true;
                args.DragUIOverride.IsContentVisible = true;
                args.DragUIOverride.IsGlyphVisible = true;
                args.DragUIOverride.Caption = "Drop above";
            }
        }
          
        else
        {
            if (draggingRecords != null && draggingRecords.Count > 1)
                args.DragUIOverride.Caption = "Drop these " + draggingRecords.Count + "  rows below";
            else
                args.DragUIOverride.Caption = "Drop below";
        }
        args.AcceptedOperation = DataPackageOperation.Move;

        ShowDragIndicators(dropPosition, rowColumnIndex, args);
        args.Handled = true;
    }

    ListView listview;
    protected override void ProcessOnDrop(DragEventArgs args, RowColumnIndex rowColumnIndex)
    {
        listview = null;
            
        if (args.DataView.Properties.ContainsKey("ListView"))
            listview=args.DataView.Properties["ListView"] as ListView;

        if (!DataGrid.SelectionController.CurrentCellManager.CheckValidationAndEndEdit())
            return;

        var dropPosition = GetDropPosition(args, rowColumnIndex, draggingRecords);
        if (dropPosition == DropPosition.None)
            return;

        var droppingRecordIndex = this.DataGrid.ResolveToRecordIndex(rowColumnIndex.RowIndex);

        if (droppingRecordIndex < 0)
            return;

        foreach (var record in draggingRecords)
        {
            if (listview != null)
            {
                (listview.ItemsSource as ObservableCollection<BusinessObjects>).Remove(record as BusinessObjects);
                var sourceCollection = this.DataGrid.View.SourceCollection as IList;

                if (dropPosition == DropPosition.DropBelow)
                    sourceCollection.Insert(droppingRecordIndex + 1, record);
                else
                    sourceCollection.Insert(droppingRecordIndex, record);
            }
            else
            {
                var draggingIndex = this.DataGrid.ResolveToRowIndex(draggingRecords[0]);

                if (draggingIndex < 0)
                {
                    return;
                }

                var recordIndex = this.DataGrid.ResolveToRecordIndex(draggingIndex);
                var recordEntry = this.DataGrid.View.Records[recordIndex];
                this.DataGrid.View.Records.Remove(recordEntry);

                if (draggingIndex < rowColumnIndex.RowIndex && dropPosition == DropPosition.DropAbove)
                    this.DataGrid.View.Records.Insert(droppingRecordIndex - 1, this.DataGrid.View.Records.CreateRecord(record));
                else if (draggingIndex > rowColumnIndex.RowIndex && dropPosition == DropPosition.DropBelow)
                    this.DataGrid.View.Records.Insert(droppingRecordIndex + 1, this.DataGrid.View.Records.CreateRecord(record));
                else
                    this.DataGrid.View.Records.Insert(droppingRecordIndex, this.DataGrid.View.Records.CreateRecord(record));
            }
        }

        CloseDragIndicators();
    }
}

For ListView, you can wire the DragEnter, DragItemStarting, DragOver and Drop events.

private void ListView_DragEnter(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
    e.AcceptedOperation = Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer.DataPackageOperation.Copy;
}

private void ListView_Drop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (var item in records1)
    {
        this.datagrid.View.Remove(item as BusinessObjects);
        (this.DataContext as ViewModel).GDCSource1.Add(item as BusinessObjects);
    }
}

ObservableCollection<object> records1 = new ObservableCollection<object>();
private void ListView_DragOver(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.DataView.Properties.ContainsKey("Records"))
        records1 = e.DataView.Properties["Records"] as ObservableCollection<object>;
}

private void ListView_DragItemsStarting(object sender, DragItemsStartingEventArgs e)
{
    var records = new ObservableCollection<object>();
    records.Add(listView.SelectedItem);
    e.Data.Properties.Add("DraggedItem", records);
    e.Data.Properties.Add("ListView", listView);
    e.Data.SetText(StandardDataFormats.Text);
}
