Accessing clipboard from a C# console application

Simple, but a few non-obvious things required:

1. Add a reference to System.Windows.Forms
2. Add a [STAThread] attribute above the Main method (see here for more information)
3. Now you’re ready to use the methods on Clipboard to write to the clipboard:

...
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace MyNamespace
{
    public class Program
    {
        [STAThread]
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Clipboard.SetText("Text to put on the clipboard");
        }
    }
}
