How to create Clone of an object instance

        public static object CreateClone(object obj)
        {
            object copy;
            Stream stream = new MemoryStream();
            BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
            formatter.Serialize(stream, obj);
            stream.Seek(0, 0);
            copy = formatter.Deserialize(stream);
            stream.Close();

            return copy;
        }

Usage:

// Employee should be marked [Serializable]

Employee employee = new Employee();

employee.Name = "Test Name";

// Create a duplicate of employee - not just reference usage

Employee employee2 = CreateClone(employee);
