Introduction

Once we have an image in a System.Drawing.Image type object we can put it into the clipboard with the following code. Once in the clipboard it could be pasted into application that take images from the clipboard such as MS Paint or MS Word.

// Image defined somwhere else
Image img = SomeClass.GetViewImage( this );
...
// Copy the image to the clipboard
Clipboard.SetDataObject( img );

To aquire an image from the screen see Screen Capture
