I'm fairly new to C# and I'm having some problems trying to get a List<> to deep copy. SGenome elite = new SGenome(); elite.lstBits = lstBestGenome; Later on when I lstBestGenome.Clear() my elite.lstBits is gone. Any help would be appreciated.

You're only copying List<> references not List<>s. Another approach is use new to create a new List<> and use the IEnumerable version of the List<> constructor to copy the data from the other list.

Thank you that fixed it. I meant to see if List<> was overloaded last night but in my frustration never got around to it.
