Only for the last two hours! I need to get a value from codebehind (actually the selected item's ID) and pass it to the clipboard. The script you suggested only copies a set text area I believe.

Maybe because you never mentioned that you need to get a value from codebehind? You'd have to use AJAX or a PostBack to get the ID as those are the only 2 ways to access the CodeBehind from the client-side. Far too complex and too much code to post a solution here, but check this AJAX link. http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/tryit.asp?filename=tryajax_httprequest_js4

You would then have to use the script in the link that I previously posted to paste to the Clipboard.

Hi greengrass

Just as NC posted, we can Set/Get/Clear users’ clipboard by the JavaScript window.clipboardData object, which only works in Internet Explorer, by the following code:

window.clipboardData.setData("text",value)
window.clipboardData.getData("text")
window.clipboardData.clearData("text")

If you need set a code-behind value to user’s clipboard, please pass it to JavaScript variable first, and then, set the value to clipboard. Or you can call the JavaScript from code-behind, just like the following code:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string values = "hello world";
    ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "copy", "window.clipboardData.setData('text','"+values+"')", true);
}

Thanks.
