Deep copy is usually an expensive operation as you will create new instances of objects. Do you really need a deep copy? You can use clone method to get the shallow copy.

Creating a deep copy sounds familiar to me, please try this example:

C#

public static T CloneObject<T>(T item)
{
  if (item != null)
  {
    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
      BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter(null, new StreamingContext(StreamingContextStates.Clone));
      bf.Serialize(ms, item);
      ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
      return (T)bf.Deserialize(ms);
    }
  }
  return default(T);
}

Of course, You have to include some namespaces:

C#

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;

Enjoy :)
