How to handle a blocked clipboard and other oddities

by

Another workaround would be to use Clipboard.SetDataObject instead of Clipboard.SetText.

According to this MSDN article this method has two parameters – retryTimes and retryDelay – that you can use like this:

System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetDataObject(
    "some text", // Text to store in clipboard
    false,       // Do not keep after our application exits
    5,           // Retry 5 times
    200);        // 200 ms delay between retries
