File Drag and Drop from dot.net app to external app

In my application I have a ListView of files that meet certain criteria. I
have implemented drag/drop from this list to a second ListView of selected
items. This works well and will accept a filelist from windows explorer.
Now I want to be able to drag the selected items in the second ListView
(selected by checkbox) to an external application such as Media Player.

In my DataObject created to do the drag and drop internally I create an
array of filenames and use the SetData method with "FileDrop" as the
DataFormat. This works internally but not externally. When dragged over
Media Player for example the cursor stays the "blocked" cursor.

Any ideas?

Using Framework V1.1 SP1
VS 2003.

There seems to be two ways to put things on the clipboard ( I don't mean different formats): SetClipboardData and OleSetClipboard If I want to get data off the clipboard do I care how it was put there? What about Drag/Drop; is there more than one way for the source to make data available Is it always OLE?
