Best way to cut/copy/paste an object to/from clipboard?

Tom
What is the best way to cut/copy an internal object to the clipboard
and then paste it back in? For instance, I have an internal DataTable
that I want to put on the clipboard, and then later on retrieve that
data. I know to use ClipBoard.SetDataObject, but when I tried this and
then tried to retrieve the object, I either got some error message
about it (clipboard) not responding, or I would get the object back but
I could never convert it back into a DataTable.

Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Tom
