Methods Visibility Name Parameters Return Type public Clone ( ) Object

Class	Description
ActiveXMessageFormatter	Serializes or deserializes primitive data types and other objects to or from the body of a Message Queuing message, using a format that is compatible with the MSMQ ActiveX Component.
Array	Provides methods for creating, manipulating, searching, and sorting arrays, thereby serving as the base class for all arrays in the common language runtime.
ArrayList	Implements the IList interface using an array whose size is dynamically increased as required.
AssemblyName	Fully describes an assembly's unique identity.
BinaryMessageFormatter	Serializes or deserializes an object, or an entire graph of connected objects, to or from the body of a Message Queuing message, using a binary format.
BitArray	Manages a compact array of bit values, which are represented as Booleans, where true indicates that the bit is on ( 1 ) and false indicates the bit is off ( 0 ).
Brush	Classes derived from this abstract base class define objects used to fill the interiors of graphical shapes such as rectangles, ellipses, pies, polygons, and paths.
CharEnumerator	Supports iterating over a String and reading its individual characters.
ColumnHeader	Displays a single column header in a ListView control.
Control.ControlCollection	Represents a collection of Control objects
CultureInfo	Represents information about a specific culture including the names of the culture, the writing system, and the calendar used, as well as access to culture-specific objects that provide methods for common operations, such as formatting dates and sorting strings.
CustomLineCap	Encapsulates a custom user-defined line cap.
DataColumnMapping	Contains a generic column mapping for an object that inherits from DataAdapter. This class cannot be inherited.
DataTableMapping	Contains a description of a mapped relationship between a source table and a DataTable. This class is used by a DataAdapter when populating a DataSet.
DateTimeFormatInfo	Defines how DateTime values are formatted and displayed, depending on the culture.
DbDataAdapter	Aids implementation of the IDbDataAdapter interface. Inheritors of DbDataAdapter implement a set of functions to provide strong typing, but inherit most of the functionality needed to fully implement a DataAdapter.
Delegate	Represents a delegate, which is a data structure that refers to a static method or to a class instance and an instance method of that class.
Font	Defines a particular format for text, including font face, size, and style attributes. This class cannot be inherited.
GraphicsPath	Represents a series of connected lines and curves. This class cannot be inherited.
Hashtable	Represents a collection of key-and-value pairs that are organized based on the hash code of the key.
Icon	Represents a Windows icon, which is a small bitmap image used to represent an object. Icons can be thought of as transparent bitmaps, although their size is determined by the system.
Image	An abstract base class that provides functionality for Bitmap, Icon and Metafile descended classes.
ImageAttributes	Contains information about how image colors are manipulated during rendering. Not inheritable.
ListViewItem	Represents an item in a ListView control.
LogicalCallContext	Provides a set of properties that are carried with the execution code path during remote method calls.
ManagementBaseObject	Contains the basic elements of a management object. It serves as a base class to more specific management object classes.
ManagementOptions	Provides an abstract base class for all options objects.
ManagementPath	Provides a wrapper for parsing and building paths to WMI objects.
ManagementQuery	Provides an abstract base class for all management query objects.
ManagementScope	Represents a scope for management operations. In v1.0 the scope defines the WMI namespace in which management operations are performed.
Margins	Specifies the margins of a printed page.
NumberFormatInfo	Defines how numeric values are formatted and displayed, depending on the culture.
OleDbCommand	Represents an SQL statement or stored procedure to execute against a data source.
OleDbConnection	Represents an open connection to a data source.
OleDbParameter	Represents a parameter to an OleDbCommand and optionally, its mapping to a DataSet column. This class cannot be inherited.
OperatingSystem	Represents information about an operating system, such as the version and platform identifier.
PageSettings	Specifies settings that apply to a single, printed page.
Pen	Defines an object used to draw lines and curves. This class cannot be inherited.
PrinterSettings	Specifies information about how a document is printed, including the printer that prints it.
Queue	Represents a first-in, first-out collection of objects.
ScrollableControl.DockPaddingEdges	Determines the border padding for docked controls.
SortedList	Represents a collection of key-and-value pairs that are sorted by the keys and are accessible by key and by index.
SqlCommand	Represents a Transact-SQL statement or stored procedure to execute against a SQL Server database. This class cannot be inherited.
SqlConnection	Represents an open connection to a SQL Server database. This class cannot be inherited.
SqlParameter	Represents a parameter to a SqlCommand, and optionally, its mapping to DataSet columns. This class cannot be inherited.
Stack	Represents a simple last-in-first-out collection of objects.
String	Represents an immutable series of characters.
StringFormat	Encapsulates text layout information ( such as alignment and line spacing ), display manipulations ( such as ellipsis insertion and national digit substitution ) and OpenType features. This class cannot be inherited.
TreeNode	Represents a node of a TreeView.
Version	Represents the version number for a common language runtime assembly. This class cannot be inherited.
XmlMessageFormatter	Serializes and deserializes objects to or from the body of a message, using the XML format based on the XSD schema definition.
XmlNode	Represents a single node in the XML document.
XPathNavigator	Reads data from any data store using a cursor model.
XPathNodeIterator	Provides an iterator over a set of selected nodes.

The ICloneable interface contains one member, Clone, which is intended to support cloning beyond that supplied by MemberwiseClone.
