I am having some issues with my clipboard. The following code is almost a straight copy from the docs.

Clipboard.SetData("Class1Format", new Class1("42"));
if (Clipboard.ContainsData("Class1Format"))
{
	Class1 o = Clipboard.GetData("Class1Format") as Class1;
	// is is null here so the line below will throw an exception
	MessageBox.Show(o.MyMethod());
}
else
{
	MessageBox.Show("Ain't nothing there!!");
}

I think the instance of Class1 is placed in the clipboard successfully but there are some issues retreiving it. I have also tried the "old" way:

Clipboard.SetDataObject(new Class1("42"));
Class1 o = Clipboard.GetDataObject() as Class1;
// o is null!!
MessageBox.Show(o.MyMethod());

I got a feeling is is something very simple that I am missing.

TIA,
Einar
