# Clipboard Viewer Sample
This sample demonstrates Clipboard operations using a variety of data formats. It provides a viewer application with controls that read and set DataObject properties so that the user may experiment with Clipboard scenarios.

## Remarks
The sample is designed to demonstrate the use of CacheRequest and related classes and methods, but does not necessarily reflect a real-world implementation of UI Automation caching as a whole.
