I almost have this working and just need some guidance on whether I'm going about this correctly and more importantly how to fix the tiny issue I am having.

I have uploaded a small sample project with the problem mentioned below.

I want to be able to drag multiple grid rows from the XamGrid to a XamTree.  I don't physically need anything to move or change, I just need it to appear to the user they are dragging something to a specific XamTreeitem.

By crawling the forums I found a couple different approaches to this. Non seemed to be a perfect fit or to work completely but I was able to splice together something that almost works.

Approach

I loaded the tree nodes dynamically in code-behind and call SetDropTarget to specify which nodes are DropTargets.  Working perfectly.

I could not figure out how to get XamGrid row's to be Drag Source objects.  I posted elsewhere about this but know one has replied.

I found an example where they provided a custom DragTemplate at the XamGrid level.  I put a TextBlock in the DataTemplate with Text="" so I basically get what I want.  Just the default drag cursor and not the whole entire grid moving.  This seems to work and I have only one issue with the XamGrid.

After the drag is finished, if I move the mouse back to the XamGrid, it starts selected all rows until I refocus or re-click the grid.  Its like something gets messed up with its Visual State.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
