Does memberwiseclone copy DateTime, or must it be explicitly set?

Question

I'm implementing ICloneable on a ton of custom objects. Some of the objects have a type of DateTime, which is a struct value. I know this value can be copied using newDateTime = oldDateTime, but if I use MemberwiseClone() on my object, does it automatically copy the DateTime objects? I assume not because DateTime does not implement ICloneable itself.

Answer 1

DateTime is a value type, like int. So, it will be copied by the MemberwiseClone().

Answer 2

Since DateTime is value type, it will be copied.

Object.MemberwiseClone Method - MSDN

The MemberwiseClone method creates a shallow copy by creating a new object, and then copying the nonstatic fields of the current object to the new object. If a field is a value type, a bit-by-bit copy of the field is performed. If a field is a reference type, the reference is copied but the referred object is not; therefore, the original object and its clone refer to the same object.
