<summary>Provides methods for manipulating the Clipboard.</summary>
<remarks>
<format type="text/markdown">< or [Serialization - Visual Basic](/dotnet/visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/serialization/).
When accessing the Clipboard remotely, a <xref:System.Threading.ThreadStateException> is thrown unless the accessing thread operates in STA (single-threaded apartment) mode. To resolve this issue, set the `ThreadApartmentState` to `STA`. For more information, see <xref:System.STAThreadAttribute>.
For more information, see [Storing Data to and Reading from the Clipboard](/dotnet/visual-basic/developing-apps/programming/computer-resources/storing-data-to-and-reading-from-the-clipboard).
