Cut files to clipboard in C#

Question

I\'m looking for a way to programmatically cut a file to the clipboard, for example, some call to a function in C# that does the same as selecting a file in the Windows Expl

Answer 1

Please try the following, translated from The Code Project article Setting the Clipboard File DropList with DropEffect in VB.NET:

byte[] moveEffect = new byte[] {2, 0, 0, 0};
MemoryStream dropEffect = new MemoryStream();
dropEffect.Write(moveEffect, 0, moveEffect.Length);

DataObject data = new DataObject();
data.SetFileDropList(files);
data.SetData("Preferred DropEffect", dropEffect);

Clipboard.Clear();
Clipboard.SetDataObject(data, true);
