title: Host WPF window in browser
body: <p>Can an hosted WPF window in the web browser access the client's clipboard in both copy and paste? Has anybody tried to host a WPF window inside a ASP.NET MVC 3 application?</p>
  
  <p>While still looking for an advanced grid for ASP.NET MVC which supports two-ways  MS Excel copy/paste and inline editing ( see question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7800295/excel-type-of-input-sheet-that-allows-new-cols-to-be-added">Excel type of input sheet that allows new cols to be added</a> ).</p>
  
  <p>I start thinking that eventually I could host a WPF window in the web application but I am not 100% sure if such WPF form will have full access to the user clipboard.</p>
  
  <p>Our web application will have many pages and this will not affect all of them; only some specific pages where users are expecting this feature will eventually contain the embedded/hosted WPF window with an advanced grid.</p>
  
  <p>Quite an example is Google docs where without WPF, without any plugin or activeX you get inline editing and clipboard two wasy exactly as we also need.</p>
  
  <p>... or should I tell the user to paste into google docs and then I connect to that google file via GDocs APIs and grab the pasted content? :D</p>
