Clipboard in .Net VB.NET web forms

Question

How to copy a text in asp.net page into Clipboard using vb.net code-behind ?
And what libraries to import ?

Answer 1

You can't copy text into clipboard from serverside because client's memory belongs to the client. You must use javascript for this purpose and that's browser dependent.

• Here is a SO-link that'll help you to get started: how-to-copy-to-clipboard-in-javascript They recommend to use zeroclipboard, i have no experiences with it.
• Here is another SO-link with a simple example: how-to-actually-use-zeroclipboard-in-jquery

What you can do from serverside is to register a client script-block that will be executed on load of your webform to copy the text into clipboard as soon as possible.
