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；

} 

当使用Marc Gravells protobuf net作为序列化程序时，接受的答案需要一些轻微的修改，因为要复制的对象不会被归因于[Serializable]，因此不可序列化，Clone方法将抛出异常。我修改了它以与protobuf net一起使用：

public static T Clone<T>(this T source)
{
    if(Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(typeof(T), typeof(ProtoBuf.ProtoContractAttribute))
           == null)
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("Type has no ProtoContract!", "source");
    }

    if(Object.ReferenceEquals(source, null))
    {
        return default(T);
    }

    IFormatter formatter = ProtoBuf.Serializer.CreateFormatter<T>();
    using (Stream stream = new MemoryStream())
    {
        formatter.Serialize(stream, source);
        stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
        return (T)formatter.Deserialize(stream);
    }
}

这将检查[ProtoControl]属性的存在，并使用protobufs自己的格式化程序来序列化对象。

我也通过反思看到了它的实现。基本上，有一种方法可以遍历对象的成员，并将它们适当地复制到新对象中。当它到达引用类型或集合时，我认为它对自己进行了递归调用。反射是昂贵的，但效果很好。

C#扩展也将支持“not ISerializable”类型。

 public static class AppExtensions
 {                                                                      
       public static T DeepClone<T>(this T a)
       {
           using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
           {
               var serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

               serializer.Serialize(stream, a);
               stream.Position = 0;
               return (T)serializer.Deserialize(stream);
           }
       }                                                                    
 }

用法

       var obj2 = obj1.DeepClone()

问：我为什么选择这个答案？

如果您想要.NET所能达到的最快速度，请选择此答案。如果您想要一种非常简单的克隆方法，请忽略这个答案。

换言之，除非您有需要解决的性能瓶颈，并且您可以使用分析器来证明这一点，否则请使用另一个答案。

比其他方法快10倍

执行深度克隆的以下方法是：

比任何涉及序列化/反序列化的速度快10倍；非常接近.NET所能达到的理论最大速度。

方法。。。

为了达到最高速度，可以使用Nested MemberwiseClone进行深度复制。它与复制值结构的速度几乎相同，并且比（a）反射或（b）序列化（如本页其他答案所述）快得多。

请注意，如果使用Nested MemberwiseColone进行深度复制，则必须为类中的每个嵌套级别手动实现ShallowCopy，以及调用所有所述ShallowCopy方法以创建完整克隆的DeepCopy。这很简单：总共只有几行，请参见下面的演示代码。

下面是显示100000个克隆的相对性能差异的代码输出：

嵌套结构上的嵌套MemberwiseClone为1.08秒嵌套类上的嵌套MemberwiseClone为4.77秒39.93秒用于序列化/反序列化

在类上使用Nested MemberwiseColone几乎与复制结构一样快，而且复制结构的速度非常接近.NET所能达到的理论最大速度。

Demo 1 of shallow and deep copy, using classes and MemberwiseClone:
  Create Bob
    Bob.Age=30, Bob.Purchase.Description=Lamborghini
  Clone Bob >> BobsSon
  Adjust BobsSon details
    BobsSon.Age=2, BobsSon.Purchase.Description=Toy car
  Proof of deep copy: If BobsSon is a true clone, then adjusting BobsSon details will not affect Bob:
    Bob.Age=30, Bob.Purchase.Description=Lamborghini
  Elapsed time: 00:00:04.7795670,30000000

Demo 2 of shallow and deep copy, using structs and value copying:
  Create Bob
    Bob.Age=30, Bob.Purchase.Description=Lamborghini
  Clone Bob >> BobsSon
  Adjust BobsSon details:
    BobsSon.Age=2, BobsSon.Purchase.Description=Toy car
  Proof of deep copy: If BobsSon is a true clone, then adjusting BobsSon details will not affect Bob:
    Bob.Age=30, Bob.Purchase.Description=Lamborghini
  Elapsed time: 00:00:01.0875454,30000000

Demo 3 of deep copy, using class and serialize/deserialize:
  Elapsed time: 00:00:39.9339425,30000000

为了了解如何使用MemberwiseCopy进行深度复制，这里是用于生成上述时间的演示项目：

// Nested MemberwiseClone example. 
// Added to demo how to deep copy a reference class.
[Serializable] // Not required if using MemberwiseClone, only used for speed comparison using serialization.
public class Person
{
    public Person(int age, string description)
    {
        this.Age = age;
        this.Purchase.Description = description;
    }
    [Serializable] // Not required if using MemberwiseClone
    public class PurchaseType
    {
        public string Description;
        public PurchaseType ShallowCopy()
        {
            return (PurchaseType)this.MemberwiseClone();
        }
    }
    public PurchaseType Purchase = new PurchaseType();
    public int Age;
    // Add this if using nested MemberwiseClone.
    // This is a class, which is a reference type, so cloning is more difficult.
    public Person ShallowCopy()
    {
        return (Person)this.MemberwiseClone();
    }
    // Add this if using nested MemberwiseClone.
    // This is a class, which is a reference type, so cloning is more difficult.
    public Person DeepCopy()
    {
            // Clone the root ...
        Person other = (Person) this.MemberwiseClone();
            // ... then clone the nested class.
        other.Purchase = this.Purchase.ShallowCopy();
        return other;
    }
}
// Added to demo how to copy a value struct (this is easy - a deep copy happens by default)
public struct PersonStruct
{
    public PersonStruct(int age, string description)
    {
        this.Age = age;
        this.Purchase.Description = description;
    }
    public struct PurchaseType
    {
        public string Description;
    }
    public PurchaseType Purchase;
    public int Age;
    // This is a struct, which is a value type, so everything is a clone by default.
    public PersonStruct ShallowCopy()
    {
        return (PersonStruct)this;
    }
    // This is a struct, which is a value type, so everything is a clone by default.
    public PersonStruct DeepCopy()
    {
        return (PersonStruct)this;
    }
}
// Added only for a speed comparison.
public class MyDeepCopy
{
    public static T DeepCopy<T>(T obj)
    {
        object result = null;
        using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            var formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
            formatter.Serialize(ms, obj);
            ms.Position = 0;
            result = (T)formatter.Deserialize(ms);
            ms.Close();
        }
        return (T)result;
    }
}

然后，从main调用演示：

void MyMain(string[] args)
{
    {
        Console.Write("Demo 1 of shallow and deep copy, using classes and MemberwiseCopy:\n");
        var Bob = new Person(30, "Lamborghini");
        Console.Write("  Create Bob\n");

        Console.Write("  Clone Bob >> BobsSon\n");
        var BobsSon = Bob.DeepCopy();
        Console.Write("  Adjust BobsSon details\n");
        BobsSon.Age = 2;
        BobsSon.Purchase.Description = "Toy car";

        Console.Write("  Proof of deep copy: If BobsSon is a true clone, then adjusting BobsSon details will not affect Bob:\n");
        Console.Write("    Bob.Age={0}, Bob.Purchase.Description={1}\n", Bob.Age, Bob.Purchase.Description);

        sw.Start();
        int total = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
        {
            var n = Bob.DeepCopy();
            total += n.Age;
        }
        Console.Write("  Elapsed time: {0},{1}\n\n", sw.Elapsed, total);
    }
    {               
        Console.Write("Demo 2 of shallow and deep copy, using structs:\n");
        var Bob = new PersonStruct(30, "Lamborghini");
        Console.Write("  Create Bob\n");
        Console.Write("    Bob.Age={0}, Bob.Purchase.Description={1}\n", Bob.Age, Bob.Purchase.Description);
        Console.Write("  Clone Bob >> BobsSon\n");
        var BobsSon = Bob.DeepCopy();
        Console.Write("  Adjust BobsSon details:\n");
        BobsSon.Age = 2;
        BobsSon.Purchase.Description = "Toy car";

        Console.Write("  Proof of deep copy: If BobsSon is a true clone, then adjusting BobsSon details will not affect Bob:\n");
        Console.Write("    Bob.Age={0}, Bob.Purchase.Description={1}\n", Bob.Age, Bob.Purchase.Description);                
        Debug.Assert(Bob.Age == 30);
        Debug.Assert(Bob.Purchase.Description == "Lamborghini");
        var sw = new Stopwatch();
        sw.Start();
        int total = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
        {
            var n = Bob.DeepCopy();
            total += n.Age;
        }
        Console.Write("  Elapsed time: {0},{1}\n\n", sw.Elapsed, total);
    }
    {
        Console.Write("Demo 3 of deep copy, using class and serialize/deserialize:\n");
        int total = 0;
        var sw = new Stopwatch();
        sw.Start();
        var Bob = new Person(30, "Lamborghini");
        for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
        {
            var BobsSon = MyDeepCopy.DeepCopy<Person>(Bob);
            total += BobsSon.Age;
        }
        Console.Write("  Elapsed time: {0},{1}\n", sw.Elapsed, total);
    }
    Console.ReadKey();
}

再次注意，如果您使用Nested MemberwiseColone进行深度复制，则必须为类中的每个嵌套级别手动实现ShallowCopy，以及调用所有所述ShallowCopy方法以创建完整克隆的DeepCopy。这很简单：总共只有几行，请参见上面的演示代码。

值类型与引用类型

请注意，在克隆对象时，“结构”和“类”之间有很大的区别：

如果您有一个“struct”，它是一个值类型，因此您可以复制它，内容将被克隆（但除非您使用本文中的技术，否则它只能进行浅层克隆）。如果你有一个“类”，它是一个引用类型，所以如果你复制它，你所做的就是复制指向它的指针。要创建一个真正的克隆，你必须更具创造力，利用值类型和引用类型之间的差异，从而在内存中创建原始对象的另一个副本。

请参见值类型和引用类型之间的差异。

帮助调试的校验和

错误地克隆对象会导致很难确定错误。在生产代码中，我倾向于实现一个校验和，以双重检查对象是否已正确克隆，并且没有被另一个引用损坏。此校验和可以在发布模式下关闭。我发现这个方法非常有用：通常，您只想克隆对象的一部分，而不是整个对象。

对于将许多线程与许多其他线程分离非常有用

该代码的一个优秀用例是将嵌套类或结构的克隆送入队列，以实现生产者/消费者模式。

我们可以让一个（或多个）线程修改自己拥有的类，然后将该类的完整副本推送到并发队列中。然后，我们有一个（或多个）线程将这些类的副本拉出并处理它们。

这在实践中非常有效，并允许我们将许多线程（生产者）与一个或多个线程（消费者）分离。

而且这种方法也非常快：如果我们使用嵌套结构，它比序列化/反序列化嵌套类快35倍，并且允许我们利用机器上所有可用的线程。

使现代化

显然，ExpressMapper与上面的手工编码一样快，甚至更快。我可能需要看看它们与探查器的比较。

基本上，您需要实现ICloneable接口，然后实现对象结构复制。如果它是所有成员的深度拷贝，您需要确保（与您选择的解决方案无关）所有子级都是可克隆的。有时，在这个过程中，您需要注意一些限制，例如，如果您复制ORM对象，大多数框架只允许一个对象附加到会话，并且您不能克隆该对象，或者如果可能，您需要关注这些对象的会话附加。
