Returns

An System.Drawing.Image representing the Clipboard image data or null if the Clipboard does not contain any data that is in the DataFormats.Bitmap format or can be converted to that format.

Remarks

Use the Clipboard.ContainsImage method to determine whether the Clipboard contains image data before retrieving it with this method.

Use the Clipboard.SetImage(System.Drawing.Image) method to add image data to the Clipboard.
