Windows Service & Clipboard

[=?Utf-8?B?SHVtYW0=?=]

I am developing a windows service that read data from a device attached to a
PC via serial port, then service should put the data in the clipboard.
I am writing this code:

Clipboard.Clear ();
Clipboard.SetTe xt("Some Text");

but for some reason, no data is sent to the clipboard!
Is it because Windows Service run on a seperate thread?
Can any one help?

I would think because it's not a Windows Desktop solution, forms based, that
you might have a problem doing that.
