How to make a copy of a reference type

Question

Cloning objects in C#

I have a class with properties and some of them are reference types (instances of other classes) themselves (CookieContainer).

I want to have a exact copy of this class so any change to previous version would not affect this new instance.

Is there a general solution for this kind of problems or I should do it manually ?

Answer 1

You need to deep copy the object to another object. There are many approaches to this but serializing one object and deserializing that data into another object is a very quick trick to achieve this. See it here: How do you do a deep copy of an object in .NET (C# specifically)?
