Is it possible in Silverlight (I can use SL4 OOB if required) to copy/paste into my application? It appears I can only copy/paste text (from what I read)?

It is possible with Silverlight 4 but only for Unicode text (Remarks in msdn documentation). If it is enough you can read this article.
If you want different content you could try using COM object (requiers OOB, tutorial) as described here (its not for Silverlight and it's ActiveX but idea is the same).

Is it only for text? What about images? eg. from PrintScr – Jiew Meng Feb 14 '11 at 14:30

No, Silverlight only has access to plain unicode text in the clipboard. – Henrik Söderlund Feb 14 '11 at 15:04

@Henrik Söderlund, if its for activex, then it will work only in IE right? – Jiew Meng Feb 15 '11 at 04:16

if you are using OOB it doesn't matter because your app will be working outside of browser but not on Mac OsX. – bartosz.lipinski Feb 15 '11 at 08:59

1Exactly. OOB + COM Automation is required, and that means Windows only. – Henrik Söderlund Feb 15 '11 at 11:55
