    Create a folder and dropping a file in it, with a area to detect input

    Hi.

    I'm a beginner to programming, and my first program is gonna be this :

    Make a folder, based on an input file - example :

    You have a file named Movie1.avi on your desktop, u open up the program (that I want to make) and then simply drag drop that file into a box area, and then the program will create a folder, with the same name as the input file, but without the extension (folder name Movie1) and then automatically put that file into the folder it just created.

    The new folder will be created in the same dir as the input file.

    Multiple file support - is NOT needed.

    I know how it will be done, but I don't know the code..

    Please help with code?

    I'm using MS Visual Studio 2010, and I program in basic .net

    The only thing I have is an idea of what I want to make.

    I would like help to get started (how to code an area so that it can recognize input) and so on, and the I'd learn the code and syntax behind it.

    I don't know where to begin..

    Download the 101 Samples from here and check out how each one works. It will explain the BASICS, if you STEP THRU THE CODE (F8) rather than RUN (F5)
