Clipboard class in .Net 6

Question

I am upgrading some code from .Net Framework 4.62 to .Net 6. I use the Clipboard Class in System.Windows.Forms. In .Net 6 this is no longer supported.

is there a different namespace where Clipboard has been moved?

My bad...I was able to access Clipboard after adding the following line to my csproj file, in the PropertyGroup element:&nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;UseWindowsForms&gt;true&lt;/UseWindowsForms&gt;.&nbsp;So the PropertyGroup tag looks like this:&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;PropertyGroup&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;TargetFramework&gt;net6.0-windows&lt;/TargetFramework&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;UseWindowsForms&gt;true&lt;/UseWindowsForms&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;IsPackable&gt;false&lt;/IsPackable&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;/PropertyGroup&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;KenB-LA&nbsp;

KenB-LA&nbsp;I have tried that solution, to no avail. My configuration file looks like :&nbsp;&lt;PropertyGroup&gt;&lt;OutputType&gt;Exe&lt;/OutputType&gt;&lt;TargetFramework&gt;net6.0&lt;/TargetFramework&gt;&lt;UseWindowsForms&gt;true&lt;/UseWindowsForms&gt;&lt;ImplicitUsings&gt;enable&lt;/ImplicitUsings&gt;&lt;Nullable&gt;enable&lt;/Nullable&gt;&lt;EnforceCodeStyleInBuild&gt;False&lt;/EnforceCodeStyleInBuild&gt;&lt;/PropertyGroup&gt;

Yes, and thank you. I am not sure when you posted this.....But I wish I had seen it earlier! I had spent all morning with this, and just posted the solution to Overstack a few hours ago lol. smh.Strong work though, and I could have saved a lot of time if I was paying attention to my email!
