Func<Record, Record>

RecordCloneFunc.TryCreateRecordCloneFunc(this recordDescription, out delegate) creates Func<Record, Record> cloner. Cloner is shallow and makes value and reference copies.

// Create description
IRecordDescription recordDescription = RecordDescription.Create[typeof(MyStruct)];
// Create delegate
recordDescription.TryCreateRecordCloneFunc(out Delegate @delegate);
// Cast delegate
Func<MyStruct, MyStruct> recordCloner = (Func<MyStruct, MyStruct>)@delegate;
// Create record
MyStruct myStruct = new MyStruct(10);
// Clone record
MyStruct clone = recordCloner(myStruct);
// Print value
WriteLine(clone.value); // 10

public struct MyStruct
{
    public int value;

    public MyStruct(int value)
    {
        this.value = value;
    }
}

RecordCloneFunc.Clone[recordDescription] is a provider that creates cloner delegate from record description.

// Create description
IRecordDescription recordDescription = RecordDescription.Create[typeof(MyStruct)];
// Create delegate            
Func<MyStruct, MyStruct> recordCloner = (Func<MyStruct, MyStruct>)RecordCloneFunc.Create[recordDescription];
// Create record
MyStruct myStruct = new MyStruct(10);
// Clone record
MyStruct clone = recordCloner(myStruct);
// Print value
WriteLine(clone.value); // 10

RecordCloneFunc.Cached[recordDescription] is a provider that creates and caches cloner delegate from record description.

// Create description
IRecordDescription recordDescription = RecordDescription.Cached[typeof(MyStruct)];
// Create delegate            
Func<MyStruct, MyStruct> recordCloner = (Func<MyStruct, MyStruct>)RecordCloneFunc.Cached[recordDescription];
// Create record
MyStruct myStruct = new MyStruct(10);
// Clone record
MyStruct clone = recordCloner(myStruct);
// Print value
WriteLine(clone.value); // 10

RecordCloneFunc.CloneFromType[type] is a provider that creates cloner delegate from type.

// Create delegate            
Func<MyStruct, MyStruct> recordCloner = (Func<MyStruct, MyStruct>)RecordCloneFunc.CreateFromType[typeof(MyStruct)];
// Create record
MyStruct myStruct = new MyStruct(10);
// Clone record
MyStruct clone = recordCloner(myStruct);
// Print value
WriteLine(clone.value); // 10

RecordCloneFunc.CachedFromType[type] is a provider that creates and caches cloner delegate from type.

// Create delegate            
Func<MyStruct, MyStruct> recordCloner = (Func<MyStruct, MyStruct>)RecordCloneFunc.CachedFromType[typeof(MyStruct)];
// Create record
MyStruct myStruct = new MyStruct(10);
// Clone record
MyStruct clone = recordCloner(myStruct);
// Print value
WriteLine(clone.value); // 10

Func<object[], object>

RecordCloneFuncOO.TryCreateRecordCloneOO(this recordDescription, out delegate) creates Func<object, object> cloner.

// Create description
IRecordDescription recordDescription = RecordDescription.Create[typeof(MyStruct)];
// Create delegate
recordDescription.TryCreateRecordCloneFuncOO(out Func<object, object> recordCloner);
// Create record
MyStruct myStruct = new MyStruct(10);
// Clone record
MyStruct clone = (MyStruct)recordCloner(myStruct);
// Print value
WriteLine(clone.value); // 10

RecordCloneFuncOO.Clone[recordDescription] is a provider that creates cloner delegate from record description.

// Create description
IRecordDescription recordDescription = RecordDescription.Create[typeof(MyStruct)];
// Create delegate            
Func<object, object> recordCloner = RecordCloneFuncOO.Create[recordDescription];
// Create record
MyStruct myStruct = new MyStruct(10);
// Clone record
MyStruct clone = (MyStruct)recordCloner(myStruct);
// Print value
WriteLine(clone.value); // 10

RecordCloneFuncOO.Cached[recordDescription] is a provider that creates and caches cloner delegate from record description.

// Create description
IRecordDescription recordDescription = RecordDescription.Cached[typeof(MyStruct)];
// Create delegate            
Func<object, object> recordCloner = RecordCloneFuncOO.Cached[recordDescription];
// Create record
MyStruct myStruct = new MyStruct(10);
// Clone record
MyStruct clone = (MyStruct)recordCloner(myStruct);
// Print value
WriteLine(clone.value); // 10

RecordCloneFuncOO.CloneFromType[type] is a provider that creates cloner delegate from type.

// Create delegate            
Func<object, object> recordCloner = RecordCloneFuncOO.CreateFromType[typeof(MyStruct)];
// Create record
MyStruct myStruct = new MyStruct(10);
// Clone record
MyStruct clone = (MyStruct)recordCloner(myStruct);
// Print value
WriteLine(clone.value); // 10

RecordCloneFuncOO.CachedFromType[type] is a provider that creates and caches cloner delegate from type.

// Create delegate            
Func<object, object> recordCloner = RecordCloneFuncOO.CachedFromType[typeof(MyStruct)];
// Create record
MyStruct myStruct = new MyStruct(10);
// Clone record
MyStruct clone = (MyStruct)recordCloner(myStruct);
// Print value
WriteLine(clone.value); // 10
