Help!!! How to drag-and-drop a GroupBox in C#

Question

How to drag-and-drop a GroupBox containing TextBox CheckBox DomainUpDown etc from a form e.g. tabPage to another form e.g. panel in C#?

It seems C# does not support drag-and-drop of GroupBox. I’ve tried the following: make own clone of GroupBox and controls within the box first and then do DragDropEffects.Copy of the GroupBox clone. It worked.

Thank you yasser. 'Copy-paste' works at design time. I am talking run time using 'drag and drop'.

In Visual Studio .NET Design mode: select the group box in form 1 and the pres ctrl + c (copy) or ctrl + x (cut) or right click on the group box which you want to copy or move and click copy or cut and then select the panel in form 2 where you want to copy and press ctrl + v or right click in the panel and click paste.
