The following code sample demonstrates how to change the drop marker’s color and size:

XAML

<dxg:TableView AllowDragDrop="True">
   <dxg:TableView.DropMarkerTemplate>
      <DataTemplate>  
         <Grid Margin="0,-3,0,-3" IsHitTestVisible="False">
            <Border Height="6" Background="Orange" BorderBrush="Gray" BorderThickness="1"    
               VerticalAlignment="{Binding Position, Converter={StaticResource dropPositionConverter}}" />
         </Grid>
      </DataTemplate>
   </dxg:TableView.DropMarkerTemplate>
</dxg:TableView>

C#

public class DropPositionConverter : IValueConverter {
   public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) {
      return (DropPosition)value == DropPosition.Before ? VerticalAlignment.Top : VerticalAlignment.Bottom;
   }
   // ...
}

In the demonstrated code sample, the DropMarkerData.Position property is used to define how to place the drop marker.
