clipboard retrieval of image in metafille format

I have tested out that the clipboard has data present
like:
Dim data As IDataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject()
If data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.MetafilePict, True)then
PictureBox1.Image =
data.GetDataDataFormats.MetafilePict, True)
End If

But when I try to set the image property of a picturebox
to the clipboard data, it fails, the Picturebox1.image
return nothing.

What did I do wrong.
