ExtensionsCloningMapToT Method (Object)

Note: This API is now obsolete.

Maps all properties and fields of an instance to another instance. The Clone() method is used to copy an instance if exist.

Mapping fails on jagged and multidimensional array. Classes without parameterless constructor will stay null.
