How to Clone Objects

by

What you are looking is for a Cloning. You will need to Implement IClonable and then do the Cloning.

Example:

class Person() : ICloneable
{
    public string head;
    public string feet; 

    #region ICloneable Members

    public object Clone()
    {
        return this.MemberwiseClone();
    }

    #endregion
}

Then You can simply call the Clone method to do a ShallowCopy (In this particular Case also a DeepCopy)

Person a = new Person() { head = "big", feet = "small" };
Person b = (Person) a.Clone();

You can use the MemberwiseClone method of the Object class to do the cloning.
