No Copy Constructor support in .Net framework.

Comments (3) | Share

I have a base class with a lot of data members and I wanted to create a constructor in derived class, that will take a base class as a parameter and assign all data members values from the parameter:

class Derived: Base
{
    Derived(Base baseClass)
   {      //Assign all data
    }
}

The function is almost like  Copy Constructor, so I tried to search Google for it.
There is a discussion on MBR IT/.NET 247 : how to implement a C# copy constructor .

where Jeffrey Tan from Microsoft Support suggested :
public extendeddatagrid(MyDataGrid obj)
{
this=obj.Clone() as DataGrid;
}

Unfortunately, it is not allowed to assign object to this in .Net.
I’ve also found a good article on Windojitsu.com -- Copy Constructors vs ICloneable. 

But .Net framework doesn’t have a facility to assign all members like MemberwiseClone Method does for copying.

So developer has to write code to assign all data members from passed object. It is quite annoying for big classes like I have.

The related topisc are discussed in article Copying, Cloning, and Marshalling in .NET

Update: See my post Implement Copy constructor using Serialization or Reflecton
