C# Copy to Clipboard

Question

I'd like to make a console application in C#, where the user will type something, let's say "Dave" and then it'll output "Name: Dave" and copy the "Name: Dave" to the users clipboard. So is there a way to have the "Name: " + Console.ReadLine(); copied to the users clipboard automatically?

Answer 1

You'll need to reference a namespace:

using System.Windows.Forms; 

Then you can use:

Clipboard.SetText("Whatever you like"); 

EDIT

Here's a copy and paste solution that works for me

using System; using System.Windows.Forms;  namespace ConsoleApplication1 {     class Program     {         [STAThread]         private static void Main(string[] args)         {             Console.WriteLine("Say something and it will be copied to the clipboard");              var something = Console.ReadLine();              Clipboard.SetText(something);              Console.Read();         }     } }
