Check out this question and answers to it: How does the paste image from clipboard functionality work in Gmail and Google Chrome 12+? .

I think the most difficult part is to get it working in all browsers. So if you need older browsers support you probably should use some flash solution like http://code.google.com/p/zeroclipboard/ .

To save it to server you need some controller's POST action (if using MVC) or webservice or aspx page if using webforms. After getting clipboard image with javascript you send it to the server using AJAX for example.
