Okay I had a situation where I needed to make a copy of my generic list (as a temporary backup). What I did was in my class I added a method ‘Clone’.
public object Clone()
{
var ms = new MemoryStream();
var bf = new BinaryFormatter();
bf.Serialize(ms, this);
ms.Position = 0;
var obj = bf.Deserialize(ms);
ms.Close();
return obj;
}
With this I could clone each object in my generic list by doing it in a foreach loop.
var oldData = new List<myObject>();
foreach(var data in myObjectList){
oldData.Add((myObject)data.Clone();
}
This is going “fast” with a small list of objects, but once my list had around 1000 items, it didn’t go fast enough. So after googling the web I found a better solutions. Why not cloning the whole list at once.
To do this I need to let my class inherit from ICloneable interface. Once this is done, you can do the following instead of using the foreach.
var oldData = new List<myObject>();
oldData = (List<myObject>) myObjectList.Clone();
This line of code had a elapsed time around 12seconds instead of 5-6minutes with the foreach loop. Which is away better performance.
Now my program has a smoother way of working. Hope that y’all can also benefit from this.

I forgot to add a post about the webinar about the Telerik winform controls, presented by Robert Shoemate (twitter: @shoerob).
In this release the added a new layout for the visual style builder, a list of visual states and repository items. Now a nice feature that I like the most is that you can edit all controls at once. In the previous releases this wasn’t possible. You needed to edit your controls one by one. But now this isn’t the case any more and you can easily edit all controls.
So whats new in the controls, well they changed the radschedular. A new timeline view : horizontal display.
Other key features are:
- Duration
- timescale
- user interaction
- resource grouping
Further on he talked about the visual studio extensions and about Telerik Reporting.
I’m not going to write everything he said in the whole webinar. The best way is to go and listen for your self

Code bubbles an amazing new way of how developers can work (only Java support for the moment). I saw the video and I was amazed and curious how this development will go further.
I signed myself up for the beta and waiting until it’s released.
“The essential goal of this project is to make it easier for developers to see many fragments of code (or other information) at once without having to navigate back and forth. Each of these fragments is shown in a bubble.”
Check it out!

On arrival I will write a post about it. Specs etc.
Till then… greetzz
Edit: Just got the word that my laptop will be arriving next week 22/07/09
Arghhh… Had some bad days last week. Motherboard of my master computer crashed -> ordered new one together with the harddrives -> now my order seems to be lost. They ordered it again so I have to wait again until next week.
Then 2 days later my laptop crashed (Acer, 5 years old), I ordered a Dell (studio 15) this time. There I had troubles with the payment. Finally today he is ordered and in production. Delivery date is set in 2 weeks.
So hopefully I can start working on the NAS next weekend and get back again on programming when my master computer is back online or my new laptop has arrived.
Greetzz and until next post…
Okay A bit later than expected but my hard drives are ordered. So I guess this weekend I will be able to make my own NAS and I’ll keep you all post it on how it went.
