How do you do a deep copy of an object in .NET? [duplicate]

Answer 1

I have a simpler idea. Use LINQ with a new selection.

public class Fruit
{
  public string Name {get; set;}
  public int SeedCount {get; set;}
}

void SomeMethod()
{
  List originalFruits = new List();
  originalFruits.Add(new Fruit {Name="Apple", SeedCount=10});
  originalFruits.Add(new Fruit {Name="Banana", SeedCount=0});

  //Deep Copy
  List deepCopiedFruits = from f in originalFruits
              select new Fruit {Name=f.Name, SeedCount=f.SeedCount};
}
