Deep Clone with List<object>

[HypeillingerChillinger]

I have a list of objects List<object> and need to deep clone it not using references.

Using list.Adapt<List<object>>(); does not work. There are still references.

object in List is actually another type but casted to object.

What can I do?

Hello @HypeillingerChillinger
Do you mean the actual object type?
Or are you using this as an example for a custom reference type?

[DocSvartz]

try this

 List<object> result = new(); 

 foreach (var item in sourcelist) 
 {
     result.Add( item.Adapt(item.GetType(), item.GetType()));
 }

Adapt will always return the Type you specified.
If this actually worked, you would get a collection of real Object instances.
You would "lose all the contents" since Type Object does not have internal members.
