Keep Clipboard Info after closing Program

Question

I have an expanded DataGridView user control and some other NumericUpDown controls where the user can copy/paste information within my software and other software like Excel.

My problem is that when the user closes my software the information in the clipboard is lost. I would like this clipboard information to be kept, in case the information is not very big (maybe asking the user, as Microsoft Office Software does).

How can I leave this information in the clipboard, so that the user can use it afterwards?

Answer 1

Use the overload of Clipboard.SetDataObject that allows you to pass in a value indicating what should happen to the data when the app exits:

true if you want data to remain on the Clipboard after this application exits; otherwise, false.
