Its a lot easier and quicker to map a drive to your SkyDrive Account,

Thanks for the feedback, about drag and drop the other way around, I guess is not implemented just more because a security concern, user could just drag and drop a virus... I know with save as dialog you can do the same but... the user will know that he is downloading something to his hard disk.

What do you think?

Eh... Sorry to be a party pooper... But what about dragging file(s) from my browser to my desktop?

Going the other way around, to perform the download is something that is missing and no one (except for us and our customers) seems to care... :(

Does anyone have any idea if this feature will be coming?

Hi Valentin,

Telerik controls are a good option if you are developing a commercial product. You can always download a trial check the functionallity and if it fits your needs, compare development cost + bug fixing of a custom component versus purchase it in a box, well... and spend some time convincing your boss of investing on a custom componente (that's the fun part).

A good excercise as well is to learn a bit about some inners, develop a POC, and then figure out... how the hell have manage this Telerik guys to make such a cool control? :)

Nice article! Just to mention that this functionality is now available with Telerik Upload for Silverlight. We are working on enabling the drag/drop from desktop with the official launch of SL4.
