Hello,

I have two arrays of structures. I define the arrays of structures as
follows:-

  //initialisation
  ConfigApp.Config.ConfigCollection[] orgColl;
  ConfigApp.Config.ConfigCollection[] newColl;

where ConfigApp is the namespace, Config is the Class Name and
ConfigCollection is the name of the structure,

and I have also tried defining the arrays in this way:-

  ConfigApp.Config.ConfigCollection[] newColl = new
ConfigApp.Config.ConfigCollection[2];

I call my Get function to fill orgColl (one of the arrays of structures).

When orgColl is returned I copy it to newColl.

I have done this using:-

  orgColl.CopyTo(newColl,0);

and I have tried:-

  newColl = orgColl;

Then I pass the collection by reference to a function that makes changes to
it,

  public void MakeChanges(ref ConfigApp.Config.ConfigCollection[] newColl)
  {
        //newColl = orgColl;
 newColl[0].attValue[0] = "newName";
  }

When I return to the calling function I find that both orgColl and newColl
have the value 'newValue' inserted at the point .attValue[0]

How can I set up the arrays so that the orgColl's value is not changed when
newColl's value is changed.

Thankyou for any help,

Kerry
