IDataObject

IDataObject

---

System. Windows .Forms (system. windows .forms.dll)

interface

This interface is used by Clipboard and drag-and-drop operations to encapsulate the data that is being moved around. See DataObject for a description of a typical implementation.

You could provide more complex IDataObject implementations than the simple in-memory version offered by DataObject , perhaps using persistent storage for robustness, but DataObject will do fine for most applications.

 public interface  IDataObject  {  // Public Instance Methods  public object  GetData  (string  format  );    public object  GetData  (string  format  , bool  autoConvert  );    public object  GetData  (Type  format  );    public bool  GetDataPresent  (string  format  );    public bool  GetDataPresent  (string  format  , bool  autoConvert  );    public bool  GetDataPresent  (Type  format  );    public string[ ]  GetFormats  ();    public string[ ]  GetFormats  (bool  autoConvert  );    public void  SetData  (object  data  );    public void  SetData  (string  format  , bool  autoConvert  , object  data  );    public void  SetData  (string  format  , object  data  );    public void  SetData  (Type  format  , object  data  ); }
