Solution

  • Clipboard.GetText is not available to Windows Phone applications. MSDN states:

    You cannot get clipboard text from a Windows Phone application, only set it. Calling the GetText method in a Windows Phone application will always cause a SecurityException to occur.

    Reference

    I am not aware of any way to read the clipboard data in Windows Phone.
