Pasting images into Silverlight

Question

Hi Guys,

I am looking for a way to enable my users to paste images into my Silverlight component (into a TextBox, I guess, or is there any better control for doing this?).

From what I read on the internet, for security reasons, there is no clipboard access from code, except by using a JavaScript function that works only with IE.

But what if the user invokes the browser command (Ctrl-P or menu) to paste the data? I can see it works with text, so I am wondering if I can do the same for pictures.

Any help appreciated.

The only way to get access to images from a user's compter is via a OpenFileDialog. Copy/paste isn't going to work.
