'Copy text' button in C#

Question

I’m new to C#, and wanted to create a button that when clicked, it will copy the text described in that same button.

If I didn’t make myself clear, imagine button has a text inserted in it (eg: Csharp), when you click this button, the content Csharp will be copied. Then you can go and open for example the Notepad and give a paste, and the text Csharp will be pasted.

Someone can help me create it?

Use Clipboard:

private void BtnCsharp_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Clipboard.SetText(((Button)sender).Text);
    //ou
    //Clipboard.SetText(BtnCsharp.Text);
}

If it is a contentious fixed in your application create a variable string texto and paste the text into it that way:

private void BtnTomcat_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string texto = "StackOverFlow StackOverFlow StackOver";            
    Clipboard.SetText(texto);
}

To change Button Text, go to the property box and put in Text the name you prefer.
