well, you can, but even that isn't necessary. There is no reason to use the pasteboard at all.

True, but that may not be applicable.

if you're doing strictly local dragging, there is no reason you can't set an instance variable somewhere to the object (objects) being dragged when the drag begins, and then get the object reference from that instance variable when the drag completes. This is often applicable when dealing with, oh, say an NSTableView.. :-)

For intra-table view dragging only, you can just stick the row indices onto the pasteboard like this:

- (BOOL)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView writeRows:(NSArray*)rows toPasteboard:(NSPasteboard*)pboard {
[pboard declareTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObject:NSStringPboardType] owner:nil];
[pboard setPropertyList:rows forType:NSStringPboardType];
return YES;
}

Extract in the acceptDrop with [[info draggingPasteboard] propertyListForType:NSStringPboardType].
