VB.NET || How To Copy All Properties & Fields From One Object To Another Using VB.NET

The following is a module with functions which demonstrates how to copy all properties and fields from one object to another using VB.NET.

The function demonstrated on this page is a generic extension method which uses reflection to copy all the matching properties and fields from one object to another.

This function works on both structure and class object fields and properties.

The two objects do not have to be the same type. Only the matching properties and fields are copied.


1. Copy Properties & Fields

The example below demonstrates the use of ‘Utils.Objects.CopyPropsTo‘ to copy all the matching properties and fields from the source object to the destination object.
