Copy To Clipboard Problem

[Wayne Wengert]

I have an aspx page on which I am trying to copy the contents of a textbox
to the client clipboard when the users clicks a button. The button code is
as follows:
=====================================
Private Sub btnCopyToClipboard_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCopyToClipboard.Click

Clipboard.SetDataObject(txtHidden.Text)

End Sub

=================================================

When the button is clicked, I am getting the following error pointing to the
statement in the above sub.

==================================================

Wayne,

Client clipboard is located on the client machine. Your code tries to set
your web server's clipboard. On client side you can use javascript
window.clipboardData object.

If you have MSDN library installed, just find "clipboardData" in the index.
Alternatively go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...pboardData.asp

You will find an example there.
