There are libraries for this such as gong and similar snippets on various blog articles.

However, you shouldn't get too hung up on having absolutely no code-behind. For example, this is still MVVM in my book:

void ButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ((MyViewModel) this.DataContext).DoSomething();
}

A command binding might be a better choice, but the logic is definitely in the viewmodel. With something like Drag and Drop, it's more variable where you want to draw the line. You can have code-behind interpret the Drag Args and call methods on the viewmodel when appropriate.
