System.Windows.Forms.DataFormats.StringFormat Field

Specifies the Windows Forms string class format, which Windows Forms uses to store string objects. This static field is read-only.

Syntax

public static readonly string StringFormat

Remarks

This field is used by the System.Windows.Forms.IDataObject interface and the System.Windows.Forms.DataObject class to specify the data type.

When adding to an System.Windows.Forms.IDataObject or to an implementation of System.Windows.Forms.DataObject, use this field as the format for the IDataObject.SetData(string, bool, object) and DataObject.SetData(string, bool, object) methods.

To see if an object of this type exists, use this field as the format for the IDataObject.GetDataPresent(string, bool) and DataObject.GetDataPresent(Type) methods.

To get an object of this type, use this as the format for the IDataObject.GetData(string, bool) and DataObject.GetData(string, bool) methods.

Note:

The string class format is specific to Windows Forms only and will not be recognized by applications created outside of Windows Forms.
