.NET Framework Class Library
IDataObject Interface

Provides a format-independent mechanism for transferring data.

Namespace:  System.Windows
Assembly:  PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)
Syntax

'Usage

Dim instance As IDataObject

'Declaration

Public Interface IDataObject
Interfaces cannot be used directly in XAML; see types that implement this interface.
Remarks

The IDataObject interface is used by the Clipboard class for data transfer operations like drag-and-drop.

When implemented by a class, the IDataObject methods enable a single data object to offer data in multiple formats. Offering data in multiple formats tends to make the data usable by a wider variety of applications than if only a single data format were supported.

The DataObject class provides a basic implementation of the IDataObject interface.
