Copy and paste with C#

I know this is asked many times before but it s not what i look for, to make copy paste in c# we use;

//Copy
Clipboard.SetDataObject("String to copy"); 

//Paste
IDataObject iData = Clipboard.GetDataObject();

I only want to use copy, after using:

Clipboard.SetDataObject("String to copy");

when i close the program, then when i right click and paste on a txt file nothing happens!
So Clipboard class seems doesnt help, so i need another solution.

Clipboard.SetDataObject("String to copy", true);

That boolean value at the end specifies whether the string should remain in the clipboard after the application closes, and is set to false as default.

You want to use second overload of SetDataObject(object, bool).

When bool is set to true, data will remain after application is closed.

Did you try to use Clipboard.SetText(your_String)?
This works for me.
