Copy gridview cell value to the clipboard

Question

I have a gridview with some values. If the user clicks on a link or button (here I took a Buttonfield with the text 'Copy') on one of the rows, it should copy a cell value of that row to the clipboard. Is something like this possible in asp.net c# ?

        <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
        DataKeyNames="id" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" Visible="False"  OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound"
        onselectedindexchanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged1">
        <Columns>
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Username" HeaderText="Username" 
                SortExpression="Username" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Password" HeaderText="Password" 
                SortExpression="Password" />
            <asp:CommandField ButtonType="Image" EditImageUrl="/images/edit.png" CancelImageUrl="/images/undo.png"  UpdateImageUrl="/images/save.png" ShowEditButton="True"   />
            <asp:CommandField ButtonType="Image" ShowDeleteButton="True"  DeleteImageUrl="/images/deletered.png"    />
            <asp:ButtonField Text="Copy"  />
        </Columns>
        <EmptyDataTemplate>
            No data available
        </EmptyDataTemplate>
    </asp:GridView>

There is no Onclick event available for a ButtonField. Otherwise I would think of using some javascript (I have seen that in other solutions)
Thanks for any input.

You can do that with windows form only, but since you are working on Web application you should write client side code which is javascript to copy data on client side not server side. checkout this link
