Look here: Deep cloning objects

A clone is a copy (i.e. a new instance). Several BCL classes implement IClonable which returns an object which should be a new instance with the values of the original.

A good sample is at:

I don't think List<T> supports it, but you could add it, as long as the T are IClonable.

Cloning means creating another instance of your Reference type (Anything that is not a constant [integers, chars...] or a structure) so you can modify one of them without affecting the other, as just using the Equals operator or passing one of such value types would create a pseudo-pointer.

To clone your classes, just make them implement ICloneable [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.icloneable.aspx] and call the Clone() Method, casting the return type to the object type desired.

Good Luck :)
