使用IClonable接口可以花费多少精力是令人难以置信的，尤其是当您有大量的类层次结构时。MemberwiseColone的工作方式也很奇怪——它甚至不能完全克隆普通的List类型的结构。

当然，串行化最有趣的困境是串行化反向引用——例如，具有子-父关系的类层次结构。我怀疑二进制序列化程序能否在这种情况下帮助您。（最终将导致递归循环+堆栈溢出）。

不知怎么的，我喜欢这里提出的解决方案：如何在.NET（特别是C#）中对对象进行深度复制？

然而，它不支持Lists，并补充说，该支持还考虑到了重新养育子女的问题。对于我制定的仅为父项的规则，该字段或属性应命名为“parent”，则DeepClone将忽略它。您可能需要决定自己的反向引用规则——对于树层次结构，它可能是“左/右”等。。。

除了这里的一些精彩答案外，您可以在C#9.0及更高版本中完成以下操作（假设您可以将类转换为记录）：

record Record
{
    public int Property1 { get; set; }

    public string Property2 { get; set; }
}

然后，只需使用with运算符将一个对象的值复制到新对象。

var object1 = new Record()
{
    Property1 = 1,
    Property2 = "2"
};

var object2 = object1 with { };
// object2 now has Property1 = 1 & Property2 = "2"

我希望这有助于：）

我在Silverlight中使用ICloneable时遇到了问题，但我喜欢序列化的想法，我可以序列化XML，所以我这样做了：

static public class SerializeHelper
{
    //Michael White, Holly Springs Consulting, 2009
    //michael@hollyspringsconsulting.com
    public static T DeserializeXML<T>(string xmlData) 
        where T:new()
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(xmlData))
            return default(T);

        TextReader tr = new StringReader(xmlData);
        T DocItms = new T();
        XmlSerializer xms = new XmlSerializer(DocItms.GetType());
        DocItms = (T)xms.Deserialize(tr);

        return DocItms == null ? default(T) : DocItms;
    }

    public static string SeralizeObjectToXML<T>(T xmlObject)
    {
        StringBuilder sbTR = new StringBuilder();
        XmlSerializer xmsTR = new XmlSerializer(xmlObject.GetType());
        XmlWriterSettings xwsTR = new XmlWriterSettings();
        
        XmlWriter xmwTR = XmlWriter.Create(sbTR, xwsTR);
        xmsTR.Serialize(xmwTR,xmlObject);
        
        return sbTR.ToString();
    }

    public static T CloneObject<T>(T objClone) 
        where T:new()
    {
        string GetString = SerializeHelper.SeralizeObjectToXML<T>(objClone);
        return SerializeHelper.DeserializeXML<T>(GetString);
    }
}

不使用ICloneable的原因不是因为它没有通用接口。不使用它的原因是因为它很模糊。它不清楚你得到的是浅拷贝还是深拷贝；这取决于实施者。

是的，MemberwiseColone生成一个浅拷贝，但MemberwiseClone的反面不是克隆；可能是DeepClone，但它并不存在。当您通过对象的ICloneable接口使用对象时，您无法知道底层对象执行哪种克隆。（而且XML注释不会很清楚，因为您将得到接口注释，而不是对象的Clone方法上的注释。）

我通常只做一个Copy方法，它完全符合我的要求。

我对当前的答案做了一些基准测试，发现了一些有趣的事实。

使用BinarySerializer=>https://stackoverflow.com/a/78612/6338072

使用XmlSerializer=>https://stackoverflow.com/a/50150204/6338072

使用Activator.CreateInstance=>https://stackoverflow.com/a/56691124/6338072

这些是结果

我已经创建了一个可接受答案的版本，该版本同时适用于“[Serializable]”和“[DataContract]”。我写它已经有一段时间了，但如果我没有记错，[DataContract]需要一个不同的序列化程序。

需要System、System.IO、System.Runtime.Serialization、System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary、System.Xml；
