How to copy List in C#


I want to copy a List of Objects, but i keep getting references between the objects.

List<MyClass> copy = original;

When i change the value in the copy List, the original List ends up modified also. Is there a way to work around it?


Solution

  • You can do this:

    List<MyClass> copy = original.ToList();
    

    This would make an element-by-element copy of the list, rather than copying the reference to the list itself.
