Clipboard.GetDataObject is returning me Nothing

Question

 

I am trying to fetch data from Clip Board in my web application.
But the below code is returning me Nothing.
How do i slove this?
Dim aDoc As Word.Document = WordApp.Documents.Open(outfile, missing, [readOnly], missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, isVisible)

aDoc.ActiveWindow.Selection.WholeStory()

aDoc.ActiveWindow.Selection.Copy()

 

Dim data As IDataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject()

Answer 1

Hi,

You are probably getting this behaviour because the account which is executing your web application has no desktop interaction and no clipboard. I had a similar issue some time ago using MapPoint.

I couldn't solve it.

Hope it helps.
