The problem is, as my last post addresses, I'm trying to change code from C# to VB for drag and dropping from Outlook. The original C# code is shown below. The very Odd thing I don't understand is how in C# GetType() works with IDataObject. Inside the DragDrop event of an Windows Form object e.Data.GetType() is usable, but this is not the case in VB.

Translate C#: FieldInfo innerDataField = this.underlyingDataObject.GetType().GetField("innerData", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance); TO VB: Dim innerDataField As FieldInfo = CObj(Me.underlyingDataObject).GetType().GetField("innerData", BindingFlags.NonPublic Or BindingFlags.Instance) Fred
