How to drag a feature class from catalog pane into Combo Box using Drag and Drop functionality?

Hello @UmaHarano , @Wolf ,

Hope you are doing well.

I am trying to Drag a feature class from the Catalog pane and trying to drop into a combo box using drag and drop functionality. However, I tried tweaking the sample https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/ProConcepts-Framework#dropping-on-a-pane  for my goal but I didn't helped. 

I am able to get the path of the feature class. but I don't know how I can proceed further to populate it as feature class. I have attached the screenshot of my goal.

 

 

 

 else if (dropInfo.Data is List<ClipboardItem> clipboardItems)
 {
     // in this example, we handle just the first item if there are multiples being dragged
     var catalogItem = clipboardItems.First();
     string url = catalogItem.CatalogPath;
     Uri uri = new Uri(url);
    
     // SelectedFeatureLayer = catalogItem.CatalogPath.ToString();
     {
         dropInfo.Handled = false;
         //ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show($"Drag and drop only from the TOC here");
         return;
     }

 

 

Looking forward for your suggestion.

Regards,

Abhijeet

If you drag an 'Item' from the Catalog pane (specifically a Geodatabase item) you will have a Feature Class or a Table.  Feature Layers are part of the map, so you can't have a feature layer without adding a feature class to the map first.  However, you can perform operations on Feature Classes as well as Tables.   I attached a drag/drop sample the takes a dropped feature class (point) or table and displays it's content.  The sample requires 3.3
