C# Object Array CopyTo links both arrays' values?
- by Dutchie432
Okay, I have what I think is a simple question.. or just a case of me being a C# beginner.
I have an array of custom objects (clsScriptItem) that I am populating from a database. Once the items are loaded, I want to back them up to "backup" array so I can revert the information back after changing the main array. However, when I use CopyTo to copy the array and then alter the original array, the backup array is also being altered... I though CopyTo merely copied values + structure from one array to another.
private void backupItems()
{
lastSavedItems = new clsScriptItem[items.Length];
items.CopyTo(lastSavedItems, 0);
//items[0].nexts[0] is 2
//lastSavedItems[0].nexts[0] is 2
items[0].nexts[0] = "-1";
//items[0].nexts[0] is -1
//lastSavedItems[0].nexts[0] is also -1
}
How do I backup this data without having the two arrays be 'linked'??
