New Record in DataContext when cloned using Reflection

Hi All

I am creating a clone of an object using reflection. But at the end of the method, when I call dataContext.GetChangeSet(), it gives inserts:1.

Here is the code:

MyDataContext dataContext = new MyDataContext();


dataContext.Connection.Open();
dataContext.Transaction = dataContext.Connection.BeginTransaction();
DeliveryRegistration dr = null;
try
{
    DeliveryRegistration oldRegistration = null;
    object obj = null;
    string error = "";
    if (Utility.EmailNotificationsEnabled)
    {
        oldRegistration = RAKBankDataAccess.GetRegistrationById(dataContext, int.Parse(Request.QueryString["Id"]));

        if (Utility.CreateCopy((object)oldRegistration, out obj, out error))
        {

           oldRegistration = (DeliveryRegistration)obj;
        }
    }

And the CreateCopy method at the end of which datacontext has 1 inserts

public static bool CreateCopy(object orignal, out object newCopy, out string error)
    {
        error = "";
        try
        {
            Type t = orignal.GetType();
            ConstructorInfo[] constructors = t.GetConstructors();
            newCopy = constructors[0].Invoke(null);
            PropertyInfo[] props = t.GetProperties();
            foreach (PropertyInfo prop in props)
            {
               if(prop.CanRead && prop.CanWrite && !prop.PropertyType.IsArray)
               {
                   prop.SetValue(newCopy, prop.GetValue(orignal, null), null);
               }
            }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            newCopy = null;
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

On submitting changes, a new entry is also created. Any Idea what might be causing this ?
