[Gtk-sharp-list] Drag and drop path

[Mike Rhodes]

I use this code:

	[DllImport ("libgnomevfs-2.dll")]
	private static extern IntPtr gnome_vfs_get_local_path_from_uri (string str);

	public static string LocalPathFromUri (string uri)
	{
		IntPtr p = gnome_vfs_get_local_path_from_uri (uri);

		if (p == IntPtr.Zero)
			return null;
		else
			return GLib.Marshaller.PtrToStringGFree (p);
	}

(All credit goes to the Muine code where I found it =) ) I believe
gnome-vfs isn't part of gtk-sharp as of yet, so I'm not sure of
another way to do it.

Mike.

p.s. btw, if you are thinking of writing a C# music player, I'm also
writing one; perhaps we could team up -- or at least solve some of the
issues that come up -- drop me a line off-list if you are interested!
