Paste Text currently on clipboard in ASP.NET

I have an ASP.NET web application. I would like to get Text that is on the client's clipboard currently and paste in the textbox on my web page. Is there a way to do that?

All security freaks(of which I am one) seem to forget that there are web deployments to the intranet... and in this case, if you care that it only works in IE (and Firefox with an extension) you can use this guide.

To paste, with a bit of jQuery thrown-in for flavor :)

    $('.pasteHotspot').on('click', function (e) {
         e.preventDefault();

         var pasteField = $(this).parent().find('.pasteField')[0];

         // Keeps the other browsers from throwing exceptions..
         if (typeof pasteField.createTextRange != 'function') return;

         paste(pasteField);
     }


     function paste(pasteField) {
         pasteField.focus();

         pasteField.select();

         var therange = pasteField.createTextRange();

         therange.execCommand("Paste");
     }

Copying clipboard content through Javascript is dangerous and highly vulnerable approach. If you still want to implement client-side copy then you should checkout ZeroClipboard.
