Answer 1

If MyClass declares a copy constructor, you could do a

MyClass obj2=new MyClass(obj1).

Otherwise, you should create a function to copy as in:

MyClass CopyMyClassObject(MyClass obj1)
{
    MyClass Result = new MyClass();
    Result.Value1 = obj1.Value1;
    Result.Value2 = obj1.Value2;
    //...
    Result Valuen = obj1.Valuen;
    Result.Object1.Value1 = obj1.Object1.Value1;
    Result.Object1.Value2 = obj1.Object1.Value2;
    //...
    Result.Object1.Valuen = obj1.Object1.Valuen;
    //..and so on until all values have been assigned
    //The actual assignments will use whatever methods are provided in MyClass, of course.
    return Result;
}

After that, in your code you would simply do:

MyClass obj2 = CopyMyClassObject(obj1);

I hope this helps.
