C# drag and drop files to form
This code will loop through and print the full names (including extensions) of all the files dragged into your window:
if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop))
{
string[] files = (string[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop);
foreach (string filePath in files)
{
Console.WriteLine(filePath);
}
}

private void Form2_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop))
{
string[] filePaths = (string[])(e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop));
foreach (string fileLoc in filePaths)
// Code to read the contents of the text file
if (File.Exists(fileLoc))
using (TextReader tr = new StreamReader(fileLoc))
{
MessageBox.Show(tr.ReadToEnd());
}
}
}
