How to Clone Objects

Question

When I do the following.. anything done to Person b modifies Person a (I thought doing this would clone Person b from Person a). I also have NO idea if changing Person a wil

Answer 1

Since the MemberwiseClone() method is not public, I created this simple extension method in order to make it easier to clone objects:

public static T Clone(this T obj)
{
    var inst = obj.GetType().GetMethod("MemberwiseClone", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic);

    return (T)inst?.Invoke(obj, null);
}

Usage:

var clone = myObject.Clone();
