C# - Copy Constructor in C# with Example

Sep 27, 2013
Introduction:

Here I will explain what is copy constructor in c# with example. Copy constructor in c# is used to create new instance to the values of an existing instance.

Description:


Constructor is a special method of a class which will invoke automatically whenever instance or object of class is created. Constructors are responsible for object initialization and memory allocation of its class. If we create any class without constructor, the compiler will automatically create one default constructor for that class. There is always at least one constructor in every class. To know more about constructors check this link Constructors in c# with example.

Copy Constructor

A parameterized constructor that contains a parameter of same class type is called as copy constructor. Main purpose of copy constructor is to initialize new instance to the values of an existing instance. Check below example for this


using System;
namespace ConsoleApplication3
{
class Sample
{
public string param1, param2;
public Sample(string x, string y)
{
param1 = x;
param2 = y;
}
public Sample(Sample obj)     // Copy Constructor
{
param1 = obj.param1;
param2 = obj.param2;
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Sample obj = new Sample("Welcome", "Aspdotnet-Suresh");  // Create instance to class Sample
Sample obj1=new Sample(obj); // Here obj details will copied to obj1
Console.WriteLine(obj1.param1 +" to " + obj1.param2);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
When we run above program it will show output like as shown below
