OpenClipboard failed when copy pasting data from WPF DataGrid

by

We are using .NET 4.0. We had the same problem, but after logging off the system, code used to work fine for some time.

Finally we found the alternative.

If you want to copy a string to the clipboard,

string data = "Copy This"

Till now I was using the following method

Clipboard.SetText(data);

It was failing again and again. Then I looked at other methods available to set text in the clipboard in Clipboard Class and tried the following:

Clipboard.SetDataObject(data);

And it worked :). I never had the issue again.
