Hi,

I have a little console app that just does a little bit of processing. The
last thing I want it to do before it exists is stick a string onto the
clipboard. I will then access the clipboard and get the info I need. For
instance, run the console app, and then past the info into a notepad after
it runs. The only problem is that I can't seem to access the clipboard from
a console app.

Is this even possible?

Thanks

Add a reference to "System.Windows.Forms.dll", then import the
'System.Windows.Forms' namespace and use the 'Clipboard' class.

Excellent! Thank you very much!

This is my first console app. I'm used to all that stuff being there for
the windows forms.
