Clipboard is clearing image data once my application Closed

Hi,

   I am using some mechanism to copy image as Bmp to the clipboard and i want to reuse the same image for different application. My problem is image data is getting cleared once i go for Application.Current.Shutdown. How can i avoid this. This is not happening if there is a text data available. Its happening for only image data.

Regards
