Create a DataTable from Clipboard (starting code included)

I want to make a class that basically looks at the clipboard, and for the
standard types of clipboard objects (csv,text, etc), create a DataTable from
it. Not all formats will be supported but as many as possible. The idea is
to be able to convert the clipboard into a DataTable, and then pass the
DataTable to another class to do some work on it.

I have started the class here:
http://www.theoren.com/DanH/ClipBoardDataTable.cs

Right now, it only supports the DataFormats.CommaSeparatedValue which is
great for Excel.

The work I have done so far is a port of the vb.net project found here:
http://www.codeguru.com/vb/controls/...cle.php/c6393/

I am looking for some advice or examples that show how to convert the
following DataFormats into a DataTable or DataSet

FileDrop
Html
Text
UnicodeText

Perhaps this code would be useful to others as well so if i can support a
couple more DataFormats, I will share on CodeProject.com or similar.

Thanks,
Dan
