Clone Enity framework POCO

by

This is an example of an extension method I wrote to populate the common values of two objects.

    public static void PopulateInto(
        this object source,
        object target,
        BindingFlags flags)
    {
        foreach (var pi in source.GetType().GetProperties(flags))
        {
            var tpi = target.GetProperty(pi.Name, flags);

            if (tpi.IsNotNull())
            {
                try
                {
                    object originalValue;
                    object value = originalValue = source.GetValue<object>(pi.Name, new object[0], flags);
                    try
                    {
                        value = Convert.ChangeType(originalValue, tpi.PropertyType);
                    }
                    catch
                    {
                    }
                    tpi.SetValue(target, value, new object[0]);
                }
                catch
                {
                }
            }
        }
    }
