click and move

Where can i read more about moving object with mouse. I need simple code for mouse click, and object will move there; for:

protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
{ }

Thnx

Well you didn't state whether you are working in 2D or 3D, but the following thread discusses a technique for 3D:

Just poll the mouse state and position your graphic to the current mouse position when the mouse button is pressed:
