Receiving a "Shell IDList Array" object via drag and drop

My C# application is a drop target for the drop format Shell IDList
Array
I have some problems actually getting the data. I was using the same
code used for the FileDrop data target but I'm getting an exception.
What's the correct way to handle this type of data?
I receive an invalid cast exception.
Here's my non working code

Array droppedItemList = (Array) e.Data.GetData( "Shell IDList Array");

Thanks.

Herfried and Cor:- I used tracing and actually tracked down the code that was causing the problem most likely. I wonder if you wanted to comment on it. Also I wonder if there is a better way of testing if there is data than testing the length of the xml string I used as stringreader to create the dataset, but thats a side issue. I think I tried isdbnull and is nothing and stuff like that and they cause

Due to the way our IT group has set up our servers, we are not allowed to use the Shell() command. We are already doing a similar action with an FTP command. Our code is thus: sExe = Environ$("COMSPEC") sExe = Left(sExe, Len(sExe) - Len(Dir(sExe))) sExe2 = sExe & "ftp.exe -s:" & Q & sScrFile & Q

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
