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。

虽然一种方法是实现ICloneable接口（在这里描述，所以我不会反悔），但这里有一个很好的深度克隆对象复制器，我不久前在代码项目中找到了它，并将其合并到我们的代码中。如其他地方所述，它要求您的对象是可序列化的。

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

/// <summary>
/// Reference Article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/tips/SerializedObjectCloner.aspx
/// Provides a method for performing a deep copy of an object.
/// Binary Serialization is used to perform the copy.
/// </summary>
public static class ObjectCopier
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Perform a deep copy of the object via serialization.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">The type of object being copied.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="source">The object instance to copy.</param>
    /// <returns>A deep copy of the object.</returns>
    public static T Clone<T>(T source)
    {
        if (!typeof(T).IsSerializable)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("The type must be serializable.", nameof(source));
        }

        // Don't serialize a null object, simply return the default for that object
        if (ReferenceEquals(source, null)) return default;

        using var Stream stream = new MemoryStream();
        IFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
        formatter.Serialize(stream, source);
        stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
        return (T)formatter.Deserialize(stream);
    }
}

其思想是它序列化对象，然后将其反序列化为新对象。好处是，当对象变得太复杂时，您不必担心克隆任何东西。

如果您希望使用C#3.0的新扩展方法，请将该方法更改为具有以下签名：

public static T Clone<T>(this T source)
{
   // ...
}

现在，方法调用简单地变成objectBeingCloned.Clone（）；。

EDIT（2015年1月10日）我想我会重新考虑这个问题，要说我最近开始使用（Newtonsoft）Json来做这个，它应该更轻，并避免[Serializable]标签的开销。（NB@atconway在评论中指出，私有成员不是使用JSON方法克隆的）

/// <summary>
/// Perform a deep Copy of the object, using Json as a serialization method. NOTE: Private members are not cloned using this method.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">The type of object being copied.</typeparam>
/// <param name="source">The object instance to copy.</param>
/// <returns>The copied object.</returns>
public static T CloneJson<T>(this T source)
{            
    // Don't serialize a null object, simply return the default for that object
    if (ReferenceEquals(source, null)) return default;

    // initialize inner objects individually
    // for example in default constructor some list property initialized with some values,
    // but in 'source' these items are cleaned -
    // without ObjectCreationHandling.Replace default constructor values will be added to result
    var deserializeSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings {ObjectCreationHandling = ObjectCreationHandling.Replace};

    return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(source), deserializeSettings);
}

我更喜欢复制构造函数而不是克隆。意图更加明确。

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；

创建扩展：

public static T Clone<T>(this T theObject)
{
    string jsonData = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(theObject);
    return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(jsonData);
}

这样称呼：

NewObject = OldObject.Clone();
