    Hi Friends,
    Please tell me How to use copy constructor in C#? Is it related to Deep Copy and Swallow copy and is there any thing called IClonable? Pls reply to it.

    All reference type objects are allocated on heap. Allocating objects on stack in not possible just like C++. When you assign one reference to another, the reference gets copied not the object. In that case both will point to the same reference.

    For example, in the following code both o1 and o2 are referring to same object.

    Object o1 = new Object();
    Object o2 = o1;

    If you want to make a copy an instance, you will have to use cloning techniques.

    Hence proved, there is no copy constructor in C#.
