Hi Kevin,

I am not answering your question and have not really paid attention about your project. I was wondering however if you had seen this website that allows you to drag and drop components from one place to another. Each time you drag something the columns were they are placed and were they came from are all re-arranged. It is a pretty cool feature and some remarkable code work. It is at:
www.dropthings.com

Also, the code is all availble and a book was written (Building a web 2.0 Portal with ASP.Net 3.5) on how it is all done. Pretty good stuff.

>1). I can't seem to get the cursor to reset to default after the drag/drop is done.
>2) The dragged pane is removed and placed in the target. How do I copy it instead?
