            string smile1 = ":)";
            if (txtLog.Text.Contains(smile1))
            {
                txtLog.Text = txtLog.Text.Replace(":)", Clipboard.SetImage(img));
            }
        }

But this doesn't work!

That's because it's a textbox and not a default placeholder for images. You would have to draw the control yourself and when you encounter the sequence ":)" you wouldn't draw the letters but the image instead. There is some more work to it than simply replacing a text sequence by an image. You are now mixing different types that do not apply.

You could however use an rtf control that already has implementation for this, have a look here:

Good luck!
