How can I bind to global clipboard events in .Net?

Question

I need to make a simple service application that will bind to the Windows clipboard. Specifically, any time a copy/cut operation takes place I want to analyze the content and under certain conditions do something with the data.

I know that clipboard managers exist but, from what I gather, they use old COM APIs.

I'm not afraid of COM dll calls but I'm curious, is there a way to do this in pure .Net or do I still need to register a clipboard listener using COM?

and I think this is strictly Windows 8
