VB.Net equating objects by value

Question

How can I assign one object to another by value in VB.Net? By default a reference is passed rather than copying the contents. I am trying to copy a word document object to another using = sign. I do not want to keep a reference to original document, rather I need them as two different objects with same content so that I can manipulate them independently. Thanks

Have a look at the ICloneable interface (msdn link here[^]).

Solution 3

Thank you for the response. I need something similar to this. but ICloneable can only be implemented in a class that we create, right? (correct me if I am wrong). Can I make a clone of a COM object?
