Question

How can I clone a DateTime object in C #?

Answer 1

DateTime is a value type ( struct ).

This means the following creates a copy:

 DateTime toBeClonedDateTime = DateTime.Now; DateTime cloned = toBeClonedDateTime; 

Answer 2

 var original = new DateTime(2010, 11, 24); var clone = original; 

DateTime is a value type, so when you assign it, you also clone it. However, it makes no sense to clone him, because he is immutable; usually, you only clone something if you have the intention of changing one of the copies.

Answer 3

DateTime is a value type, so every time you assign it to a new variable that you clone.

 DateTime foo = DateTime.Now; DateTime clone = foo;
