Copy of a variable instead of referenc to it?

[Özden Irmak]

Hi,

I want to make a copy of a variable (which is a type of a custome class)
instead of referencing it...

MyClass MyCopy = MyOriginal

creates a reference and if I make a change on lets say on a property on
MyCopy, the property on MyOriginal does also change...

Any help?

Thanks in advance,

Özden

This class should implement the "IClonable" interface...
If now, you have to implement the "Clone" by hand...
But then you can only "copy" the public members/properties...

And you should decide if you want a shallow-copy or a deep-copy...


For more info see:

An other way is to serialize and the deserialize the object. But for
this the object must allow "serialization" (SerializableAttribute).

Do you need a memory-leak finder ?
