Deep Copy in C#

Question

MSDN gives this example of a deep copy (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.object.memberwiseclone.aspx)

public class Person 
{
    public int Age;
           


        

Answer 1

The implementation of MemberwiseClone would do the following for your code.

Person p = new Person();
p.Age = this.Age;  // value copy
p.Name = this.Name; // value copy
p.IdInfo = this.IdInfo; // reference copy. this object is the same in both coppies.
return p;
