Implement the DataContractSerializer attributes (DataContract, DataMember) on your classes and call DatacontractSerializer to serialize it to a MemoryStream, then use it again to serialize out of the MemoryStream to a new instance of the object. By far the easiest to understand, and quite performant too.

Example of class definition :

[DataContract]
class MyClass
{
    [DataMember]
    public int MyValue {get;set;}
    [DataMember]
    public string MyOtherValue {get;set;}
}

The method of cloning from one class instance to another is covered in the Microsoft documentation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752244(v=vs.110).aspx
