Can anybody give me a sample code (or a link) showing how I can perform "CTRL + V" paste operation in a textbox in html form?

The id of textbox is "user". I have a textbox in a vb.net form.
I enter some value and click on a button and the value should be copied in memory and then to the textbox.

I have been asked by my teacher to do this. So please do not tell me to do it by using webbrowser etc.

We don't do your homework.
Pointless us doing it as you will learn nothing.

Attempt it, then when you run into a particular problem, we can help.

However try thinking along the lines of clipboard copy and paste functions.

hey Dalek indeed you helped me learn something.

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Shell("notepad", vbNormalFocus)
Clipboard.SetText("my first trick")
SendKeys.Send("^v")
End Sub

works perfectly...
i will try with html forms later.
