Hi,
How can we get the content of clipboard with program?

Nah, you weren't "harsh". You were mistaken.
I know it's hard to accept that sometimes.
re: It must be seen as local stuff.
That task is not simply "local stuff". There's a server involved.
Passing the contents of a client's clipboard to an IIS server
running ASP.NET is not a trivial undertaking. Not in the least.

Maybe you didn't take into account that the clipboard class
is in the System.Windows. Forms namespace ( which, as
Craig told you, cannot be accessed by ASP.NET server-side ) ?
Even if it were to be accessed, it would be the *server's* clipboard
that's accessed, if this thing is running server-side, wouldn't it ?
So, that leaves, as the only alternative, to write a client-side program
which captures client data, in sync with the current ASP.NET context,
have the user install it and run it so that the correct data is captured client-side,
and figure out a way to insert the clipboard's contents to the server, in context
with the current request.
That last part doesn't seem too complicated, although it's certainly not "easy".
The first part certainly is complicated, and that's why I wondered why you
described the procedure as "once obtained it is easy to transmit to the server".
That "once obtained" is what you overlooked.

We must see it differently then.
A js function can be called to obtain the CB, this could be onload.
If you have the CB text you can invoke a post to the server.
What 's not trivial?
Unless you expect to read other CB formats like EMF or so?

And if I have an image in the clipboard ?
Anyway, having your clipboard read by a web page is a security risk.
To make sure your clipboard is not exposed :
1. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security
2. Click on Custom Level
3. In the security settings, click to Disable the “Allow Paste Operations via Script.”
That will keep your clipboard text contents private,
and will prevent you from doing what you are proposing to do.
Simply turning off Javascript
( which more and more people are doing these days )
will prevent the reading of text from a client's clipboard, too.
IOW, client behavior is easily derailed, so it's not a general solution.
That lands us right back into the server scenario again, where it simply can't be done.
The idea is not only whether a programming sequence is feasible,
but also whether it's practical, reliable and secure.

Good reaction ... ;-)
re: I wonder how ASP.NET reacts :)

I consider that a minimal requirement.
No web server, no matter the technology used,
can function as efficiently without client-side Javascript as with it.
Some things work fine without JS, like server-side form validation.
Other fail miserably.
Worse, not even detecting browsers can tell you if JS has been disabled,
or even if paste operations via script have been disabled, which many
companies do disable as part of their security policy.
The only way is to test for JS involves using JS. What a catch-22!
If you pass a variable and the variable is there, JS is running.
If it's not there, it's not.

Please post sample code.
Juan, see my reply (sibling post of yours) for a quick example, or one
way of doing it. It does work, but this example is somewhat limited in
its effectiveness.
Which going back to the conversation you and Edwin had (further below in
this thread) there's a lot of reasons to not do this unless you're in a
very controlled environment where you know it's even possible to work
all the time.

Once obtained it is easy to transmit to the server.
Please post sample code.
Juan, see my reply (sibling post of yours) for a quick example, or one way of doing it.
It does work, but this example is somewhat limited in its effectiveness.
Which going back to the conversation you and Edwin had (further below in this thread)
there's a lot of reasons to not do this unless you're in a very controlled environment
where you know it's even possible to work all the time.

I have a menu item to handle clipboard actions (cut, copy, paste).
When I paste text that I copied from a Hungarian web page, the display
looks normal on my RichTextBox, but the text retrieved from the
clipboard is corrupted. For example, a U with double accent ( byte
code x'FB' ) is replaced by a question mark in my txtEdit.Text after a
Paste operation.
It seems that the Clipboard.GetText() is changing the data.
How is it possible to...

Hello All,
I¡¯m using a context menu associated with some pictureboxes to provide
copy/paste functionality. Copying the image to the clipboard was easy. But
pasting an image from the clipboard is proving to be more difficult. These
pictureboxes are bound to an AccessDB. If the user wants to add an image,
they select an image using an OpenFileDialog:
Dim result As DialogResult = Pic_Sel.ShowDialog()
If (result = DialogResult.OK) Then

Hello,
I have an application which requires an image to be retrived from the
clipboard. So, I am writting a quick C# windows application to take
images from a webcam and store a single frame on the clipboard so it can
be pasted into this other application. My solution is working fine with
all applications (mspaint, word, wordpad) except the one I need it to
work with. I've contacted the vendor of the application, but I haven't

I'm trying to use .NET and C# to draw a metafile copied to the clipboard by
another application (Word 2003 in this case, but it shouldn't matter).
I naively thought that I'd be able to use the Clipboard class to get an
EnhancedMetafile or MetafilePict object from the Clipboard, use that to
create a new Metafile object, and then draw that Metafile object using
Graphics.DrawImage.
It doesn't seem to be that simple.

Wow.....this is darned odd....
I have an app that integrates with other applications.
It registers a global hotkey with Windows. When the hotkey executes
it sends a CTRL-C to the active window (any application) to copy
whatever text is selected to the clipboard. It then issues a C#
Clipboard.GetText(...) and does some processing with this string.
All is good, no errors thus far.

Guess I'm looking for someone who likes to work difficult puzzles.
I can't seem to ever retrieve a palette handle from the clipboard.
Below is a simple test program that demonstrates the problem.
The program uses windows api to get a handle to a palette from the
clipboard.
The palette needs to be put there by another program - maybe Photoshop.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...
