I need to implement C# deep copy constructors with inheritance. What patterns are there to choose from?

Question

I wish to implement a deepcopy of my classes hierarchy in C#

public Class ParentObj : ICloneable
{
    protected int   myA;
    public virtual Object Clone          


        

Answer 1

try the serialization trick:

public object Clone(object toClone)
{
    BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
    MemoryStream ms= new MemoryStream();
    bf.Serialize(ms, toClone);
    ms.Flush();
    ms.Position = 0;
    return bf.Deserialize(ms);
}
