I'm trying to drag and drop some text from a webpage to a textbox on a Winform. All works as expected from MS Edge, Firefox Opera and Chrome but not IE11 or Safari. The brief code I am using on the DragOver event is:

 private void textBox1_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
 {
        if(e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text, false))
        {
            textBox1.Text = (string)e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.Text);
        }
 }

It seems like the DataFormat from IE and Safari is not Text, but I can't figure out what it is.

Of course, it might be a browser thing not letting me drag text out.

Any ideas what's causing my issue?

Thanks,

J.

This is a way to get the data in all available formats from a Drag&Drop operation.
A Browser source works fine (I tested Edge, IE 11 and FireFox).

The Source formats are usually passed as strings or as a MemoryStream.
You can further adapt it to your context.

UPDATE:
Rebuilt the main Class object. It's now more compact and handles more details. Also, I've added a sample VS sample WinForms Form to test its results. It's a standard Form that can be included in a VS Project.
