Drag-and-Drop multiple Attached File From Outlook to C# Window Form

I Use following code for single file drag and drop.

 private void FormRegion2_DragEnter_1(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop))
        { e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy; }
        //    or this tells us if it is an Outlook attachment drop
        else if (e.Data.GetDataPresent("FileGroupDescriptor"))
        { e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy; }
        //    or none of the above
        else
        { e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None; }
    }

  private void FormRegion2_DragDrop_1(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
    {
        string[] fileNames = null;


        if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop, false) == true)
        {
            fileNames = (string[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop);                
            foreach (string fileName in fileNames)
            {
            }
        }
        else if (e.Data.GetDataPresent("FileGroupDescriptor"))
        {
           object s = e.Data.GetData("FileGroupDescriptor");

            Stream theStream = (Stream)e.Data.GetData("FileGroupDescriptor");
            byte[] fileGroupDescriptor = new byte[512];
            theStream.Read(fileGroupDescriptor, 0, 512);

            StringBuilder fileName = new StringBuilder("");

            for (int i = 76; fileGroupDescriptor[i] != 0; i++)
            { fileName.Append(Convert.ToChar(fileGroupDescriptor[i])); }

            string theFile = fileName.ToString();             
            String fileName1 = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(theFile);                

        }

    }

My problem is i am not able to get multiple file name. How it is possible to get multiple file name

Thx

People also ask

How do you select multiple attachments in Outlook?

In Outlook, open the message containing the files you wish to save. Select Preview in the attachment section above the message text. Press and hold Shift to select a range of file attachments. Select Choose.

Why can't I drag and drop files from Outlook?

To fix it, make sure that the Outlook window is active, and press the ESC key several times. After that, you should be able to use the drag & drop feature again. Besides, this might also happen if certain Outlook folders are corrupted which causes the problem with drag & drop. Close your Outlook.

There is a bug in the answer by V_B. It is in the section:

case "FileGroupDescriptorW":

The original implementation below to determine the number of items in the array is a bit wonky, besides it would throw Memory corruption exeptions when we would drag files over an infragistics treeview on win 8.

Searching for "DRAG DROP WIN8 FILEGROUPDESCRIPTORW write protected memory" led me to a posting on

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c9871410-1069-4dcb-a87d-b9c86ccbdd43/marshalptrtostructure-problem-when-drag-drop-mail-items-from-outlook-express?forum=winforms

That explained that it's a problem with the marshaller and they suggested to use Marshal.ReadInt32 and then 'increase the pointer' and 'read each within a loop'

Seeing as that is what exactly is being done in the code below (which I did not write, ), I think that this was the authors intention all along. The site teases us with the promise of more info with another dead link.

I tried to edit the comment, but it was rejected by peer review. I guess working software is not important.

replace

object fileGroupDescriptorObject = Marshal.PtrToStructure(fileGroupDescriptorWPointer, typeof(NativeMethods.FILEGROUPDESCRIPTORW));
NativeMethods.FILEGROUPDESCRIPTORW fgd = (NativeMethods.FILEGROUPDESCRIPTORW)fileGroupDescriptorObject;
files = new NativeMethods.FILEDESCRIPTOR[fgd.cItems];
pdata = (IntPtr)((int)pdata + Marshal.SizeOf(pdata));
for (int index = 0; index < fgd.cItems; index++)   

with

int ITEMCOUNT = Marshal.ReadInt32(pdata);                
files = new NativeMethods.FILEDESCRIPTOR[ITEMCOUNT];
// Set our pointer offset to the beginning of the FILEDESCRIPTOR* array
pdata = (IntPtr)((long)pdata + Marshal.SizeOf(pdata));
// Walk the array, converting each FILEDESCRIPTOR* to a FILEDESCRIPTOR
for (int index = 0; index < ITEMCOUNT; index++)

And write drop function like that

            foreach (string fileName in fileNames)
            {
                // do what you are going to do with each filename
            }
        }
        else if (e.Data.GetDataPresent("FileGroupDescriptor"))
        {

            for (int fileIndex = 0; fileIndex < filenames.Length; fileIndex++)
            {                   
                //Write your logic here u get multiple file name here
