Code Reference » Object Cloning http://sullivan.net/blog A collection of code for my reference (and perhaps other people too) Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:53:32 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Cloning an object – easy way http://sullivan.net/blog/2009/11/cloning-an-object-easy-way/ http://sullivan.net/blog/2009/11/cloning-an-object-easy-way/#comments Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:30:52 +0000 Darren http://sullivan.net/blog/?p=219 To clone an object MS says your object should inherit from IClonable. I have read many good and bad comments on this which mention it not being able to do a deel copy and whatever. A quick search will give you lots to read.
Using IClonable is a valid option.

Then I found one idea that I really liked. Serialize your object, than unserialize it. Done!

Things to note:
* Your object must be serializable.
* I have not tested if this works with complex object.
* I have not tested how this handles lazy bindings with nHibernate
* For simple object works great!

TODO: test with complex objects
