Question

Clipboard.SetText(txtBox1.Text);

How can I use a ternary operator here to set the text of the clipboard to txtbox1.Text if txtbox1.Text is not equal to string null, (nothing) ?

Thanks

You cannot. You are calling “SetText” either way. The correct way to achieve that would be to not call SetText if the text is not null.
Using Clipboard.SetText( a ? b : c); would give you nothing here if you dont want to set the text (only except hoping that SetText would ignore a null) unless you want some default. in that case something like:

clipboard.SetText(string.IsNullOrEmpty(txtBox1.Text) ? "default text" : txtBox1.Text);
