You can bind to the same collection and might not need Cloning.
or
Some classes provide the Clone Method for you. Like
ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
ArrayList al2 = null;
al2 = al.Clone();
When the Clone Method does not exist then create one yourself.
create an ItemsListCollection object, or what ever collection you want,
then call a Private method you created to populate it from another like
object. That is cloning.
You can use an ArrayList may be to bind to as above.
