This works

    public static T DeepClone<T>(this T a)
    {
        using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
        {
            DataContractSerializer dcs = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(T));
            dcs.WriteObject(stream, a);
            stream.Position = 0;
            return (T)dcs.ReadObject(stream);
        }
    }
