I have various ObservableCollections of different object types. I'd like to write a single method that will take a collection of any of these object types and return a new collection where each element is a deep copy of elements in the given collection. Here is an example for a specifc class
private static ObservableCollection<PropertyValueRow> DeepCopy(ObservableCollection<PropertyValueRow> list)
{
ObservableCollection<PropertyValueRow> newList = new ObservableCollection<PropertyValueRow>();
foreach (PropertyValueRow rec in list)
{
newList.Add((PropertyValueRow)rec.Clone());
}
return newList;
}
How can I make this method generic for any class which implements ICloneable?
