How to copy File to clipboard?

[DmitryBorodiy]

Hello, Avalonia community!
I need to copy file from storage to clipboard, how I can do it with Avalonia?

Thank you in advance!

Simpler but Desktop specific API:

var obj = new DataObject();
obj.Set(DataFormats.FileNames, "C://FileName.txt");
await window.Clipboard.SetDataObjectAsync(obj);

A bit more recommended API:

// Assuming that you need to get files from somewhere:
var files = await window.StorageProvider.OpenFilePickerAsync(new FilePickerOpenOptions());

var obj = new DataObject();
obj.Set(DataFormats.Files, files);
await window.Clipboard.SetDataObjectAsync(obj);

Although, it seems SetDataObjectAsync isn't implemented on mobile right now, so either API is fine.

CanDo is true now. And operation is running without any exception but file is not on clipboard.

Please don't use async void for anything except an event handler. Your methods here should be async Task instead. Otherwise, any exceptions might be swallowed. It probably isn't your issue though.
