GridView Column to Clipboard via a Button

I have searched all over and can not seem to find an effective way to simply
copy the contents of a ASP:gridview column to the clipboard based on a button
or similar HTML or ASP.NET control.

ASP 2.0 web application with VB.NET code developing in Visual Studio 2005 Pro.

Gridview has several columns, and users need the ability to copy one of the
columns to the clipboard for pasting into a separate app (that already has
the ability to paste multiple inputs in from the clipboard).

I have no problem creating another single-column gridview for this purpose,
or even copying the desired column's contents into some other object or array
to do this, but have not been able to find a decent example of copying to the
clipboard via a web form button or similar control.

Any examples or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

As always, thanks in advance for your help!

Hi JDRaven,

Thanks very much for sharing your solution here. I'm sure this will benefit
the community a lot.

Just a side note, in case you're interested, have you considered exporting
the GridView to Excel and let your end-user copy/paste data from Excel?
This might be more easier for your user to use the data. (Just search
"GridView Export Excel" and you should be able to find more resources on it)

Thanks for the suggestion. That page already had an export to Excel feature
on it that they had been using for this purpose (and others), but wanted a
faster "one click" method for this purpose, which they use very frequently.
This allows them to get all the values into their clipboard without having to
export to excel, select the values (for a specific region), then copy. Will
probably save them 12-15 seconds an occurrence. They better use it a lot to
recover the 12 hours or so I put into researching and implementing this for
them ;o)

Again, thanks for the help, and have a great night!

Hello I'm in the middle of trying to build an "AD phone book", and this being my first try at asp.net, I have a few questions that I hope some of you might be able to help with: 1.

Is there a way to make asp cache the search result, so the domain controller won't be to bother by all the lookups, and also to speed up

I have a gridview that I bind to a List(of Type) at runtime. Not using a datasource control. The gridview has a template column with an imagebutton whose commandname is set to 'Delete'. The footer template has an commandbutton with the commandname set to 'Insert'. Both buttons cause postback, however the RowCommand event does not fire. How can I get the rowcommand to fire?
