Returns

BindingContext

A BindingContext object that is a copy of the current channel build context.

Examples

CustomBinding binding = new CustomBinding();
BindingParameterCollection bpCol = new BindingParameterCollection();
BindingContext context = new BindingContext(binding, bpCol);
BindingContext clonedContext = context.Clone();

Dim bpCol As New BindingParameterCollection()
Dim context As New BindingContext(binding, bpCol)
Dim clonedContext As BindingContext = context.Clone()

Remarks

This method returns a copy that is a deep clone of your binding context. A deep clone of an object creates a copy of the object and a copy of everything directly or indirectly referenced by that object. (This is also called copying the entire object graph.) A shallow clone of an object, by contrast, is a copy of the object only. If the object contains references to other objects, the shallow copy does not create copies of the referred objects; instead, it copies only the references to the original objects.
