This example uses the DataObject class, which implements IDataObject, to demonstrate the use of the GetDataPresent method. First, it creates a data object using a string and the Text format. Then it verifies that the data is present in the Text format and displays the results in a message box. The example assumes that you have created a Form named Form1.
