Copy textbox content to clipboard

The textbox content is already highlighted.
I would likethe user to click a button instead of using Ctrl_C to copy the content to the clipboard.

How can this be done?

void button1_click

// Code to copy textbox1.Text to the clipboard.
???

jatkin is right.
Additionally if you want to retain the selection even after copying (focus lost) to give better indication to user, then set the property "HideSelection" to "false" for that text box.

This is what worked. I skipped storing the stacktrace in a textbox, and copied it directly to the clipboard.

Form frmContactUs = new ContactUs();
frmContactUs.ShowDialog();

string strExDetail = ex.GetType() + "\n\n" + " " +
ex.Message + "\n\n" + " " +
ex.StackTrace;
Clipboard.SetText(strExDetail);
