How do I clone a generic list in C#?

Question

I have a generic list of objects in C#, and wish to clone the list. The items within the list are cloneable, but there doesn\'t seem to be an option to do list.Clone()

Answer 1

public static object DeepClone(object obj) 
{
    object objResult = null;

    using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
        var bf = new BinaryFormatter();
        bf.Serialize(ms, obj);

        ms.Position = 0;
        objResult = bf.Deserialize(ms);
     }

     return objResult;
}

This is one way to do it with C# and .NET 2.0. Your object requires to be [Serializable()]. The goal is to lose all references and build new ones.
