Copy of an object.

[Andrew]

I would like to make a copy of the Request.Form collection object. A
shallow copy is fine. Request.Form is read-only and I'd like a copy to work
with. It seems MemberwiseClone() is protected. I'd be very appreciative if
someone would point me in he right direction.

Thank you,
Andrew

NameValueCollection source = Request.Form;
NameValueCollection dest = new NameValueCollection();

foreach(string sKey in source.Keys)
dest.Add(sKey, source[sKey]);

Thanks for such a quick response Adam. That is certainly a simple and
workable solution. Since you've answered my question the following is
purely academic, maybe you can shed some light. Can a shallow/deep copy be
made of a .net object? Not a copy of my own object but a copy an object
provided by the .net run-time, such as asp.net's response object.

Thanks again for the help.
