To copy text to the clipboard with .NET Framework, usually you have used .NET wrapper of Windows Forms:
1System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetText
However, in the new .NET world, where we want to support many operating systems, this wrapper is rather a hindrance. Thank goodness someone took the trouble and created a very nice, stable library: .NET CopyText on GitHub
1ClipboardService.SetText("Text to place in clipboard");
2string text = ClipboardService.GetText();
and even async is finally supported
1await ClipboardService.SetTextAsync("Text to place in clipboard");
2string text = await ClipboardService.GetTextAsync();
