Simple "drag-drop or click" file browse control - gigajew - Apr 15, 2018

Easy to use, plug-and-play "drag-drop or click" file browse control. You can access the selected file by the property "SelectedFile", which is of the type "FileInfo".

Nice release man, thanks for sharing. I'm sure someone has a use for this. Almost like I want to grab and keep for most future programs with an upload feature :).

I haven't read the full source, but would you mind me asking about those lines:
PHP Code

<?php 
string[] droppedFiles = (string[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop);
            foreach (string fileName in droppedFiles)
            {
                SelectedFile = new FileInfo(fileName);
                break;
            } 
Why not use casting with 'as' then check for null instead of throwing exceptions?
and why using a 'foreach' when you're breaking after the very first element??
