Drag and Drop layer

Question

Hi all,
Any way to drag a layer from the TOC and drop it into a combobox on a form? As the image below, I created a dockable window where I have two comboboxes: I want to populate the 1st one with the dropped layer name and the second one with the fields of that layer.

I found an interesting post which explains how to do this.

Basically you will deserialize drooped object which is packaged as "ESRI Layers" and then add it to your Combobox.

I have attached sample code using 10.1 SDK
