Well, dude i assume you need to copy to and from the Clipboard so the Clipboard serialize (and deserialize as well) it. However, serialization and deserialization happen automatically so, all you need is to set an attribute:

<Serializable()> _[/size]
[size=2]Public Class myClass[/size]
[size=2]Public firstString As String [/size]
[size=2]Public secondString As String [/size]
[size=2]Public Sub New() [/size]
[size=2]End Sub Public [/size]
[size=2]Sub New(ByVal something As String, ByVal _ [/size]
[size=2]somethingElse As String) [/size]
[size=2]firstString = something [/size]
[size=2]secondString = somethingElse [/size]
[size=2]End Sub[/size]
[size=2]End Class[/size]
[size=2]

later in order to copy an object to the clipboard, the code below will pass the object to the Clipboard's SetDataObject method.

just join this code to your button named copy or whatever else

Private Sub copy_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ 
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles copy.Click 
Dim myNewClass As New myClass(txtFirstTextBox.Text, _ 
txtSecondTextBox.Text) 
Clipboard.SetDataObject(myNewClass)
End Sub

Ask more if you find it confusing

in VS2003 a clipboard object is declared for you (keword: clipboard) so all you gotta do is use it:

ClipBoard.SetDataObject(Textbox.Text)


also kulrom did post this part, it was just in the middle of all the code
