Using Clipboard Class in ASP.NET

Nice Trick..!!

Working great in Asp.net Web forms..:)

But same code is not working in MVC 4.

I have tried using Clipboard.GetDataObject() with Thread execution as per given trick, but got below error..

Is there any better approach than what I tried.  

Any suggestion to me please.
