Detecting drag and drop operations in an external application using .Net

Question

I need to detect drag and drop operations in an external application , is this possible? I was thinking of writing a hook to detect these operations. Can someone point me in the right direction, how far can I try to connect messages or api functions to detect drag and drop events? I want to do this in C #.

Thanks in advance.
