ClipboardViewer

I often need to quickly look at unformatted XML over and over and over again while debugging.  Today was one of those days and I got sick of it, so I wrote this.  It's simply an WebBrowser control on a form; when it gets focus it (optionally) automatically displays the contents of the clipboard.  I wrote this in a matter of minutes, so there's no error handling or anything else.  I figured someone else may find it useful, so if that person is you, good luck.

No way can I trust this - the title of the download link (http://www.sliver.com/dotnet/ClipboardViewer/) is "Create Shortcut Util". Will it view my clipboard or create a shortcut?! I'm paralyzed with fear and will probably turn to the open source community.

I guess you did give enough waringins in your post, and even in the about box...

Seriously, though, I figured some bozo would point that out so it might as well be me. Feel free to delete this comment when your QFE team fixes this "show stopper" defect.

P.S. I know how to spell warnings, but the above issue really threw me off.

Uh oh, I've been found out. I guess it was bound to happen. I've shown the entire sliver.com web development team[1] the door and I can assure you this will never happen again!

BTW, I cannot be responsible for any interaction between CreateShortcut and ClipboardViewer. If you require more information, please contact the sliver.com legal department.

[1] Except for the design guy. I don't think I could ever find someone to replace the exceptional design skill displayed on the site.
