If the rendering operation failed for any reason, the source can allow the target to retry the operation. The source should return to the state it was in when the drop occurred for that object. The target resumes the rendering operation from the beginning.

If the rendering operation encounters a permanent failure, the source should fail the operation and proceed as if the rendering was completed.

If the rendering operation completes successfully, the source should return to the state it was in when the drop occurred for that object. This allows the target to retry the operation if its portion of the rendering failed. The target must post a DM_ENDCONVERSATION message when either of the following occurs:

• It determines that the rendering operation successfully completed
  
• It chooses not to retry a rendering operation that failed.
