Title Body

Please have a look at the code below (excerpt from a C# book): public class MyClass { public int val; } public struct myStruct { public int val; } public class Program { private static void Main(string[] args) { MyClass objectA = new MyClass(); MyClass objectB = objectA; objectA.val = 10; objectB.val = 20; myStruct structA = new myStruct(); myStruct structB = structA; structA.val = 30; structB.val = 40; Console.WriteLine("objectA.val = {0}", objectA.val); Console.WriteLine("objectB.val = {0}", objectB.val); Console.WriteLine("structA.val = {0}", structA.val); Console.WriteLine("structB.val = {0}", structB.val); Console.ReadKey(); } } I understands it produces the output below: objectA.val = 20 objectB.val = 20 structA.val = 30 structB.val = 40 The last two lines of the output I have no problem with, but the first two tell me that objectA and objectB are pointing to the same memory block (since in C#, objects are reference types). The question is how do make objectB , a copy of objectA so that it points to a different area in memory. I understand that trying to assign their members may not work since those members may be references, too. So how do I go about making objectB a completely different entity from objectA ?
