WebDragDropExtender is designed to help developers implementing sophisticated drag and drop capability in little efforts and time. When you add a server control into DragControls, you can immediately drag on the control's element when you run it in browser.
Furthermore, when you dragged the control's element, notice that WebDragDropExtender automatically creates a transparent shadow of the original element as the drag visual hint/indicator. This feature enables end users to easily recognize the dragged objects and ensuring they are grabbing the correct objects before dropping it to the target objects.
