Answer 1

If you want other programs to recognise what's on the clipboard, you need to use a recognised data format (e.g. plain text, or bitmap) string parameter, and to format the tree node into that format (e.g. if you choose text, you should pass a 'string' as the clipboard data, perhaps the TreeNode.Text value). See System.Windows.Forms.DataFormats for the different predefined types.
