Question

I’m reusing a created Object just to change a Date and the ordinal value, but at the end I get 6 objects exactly as the last.

in other words, I’m adding the object as a Reference and I should add as a Value

What should I inherit my Object to have the Copy() method ?

RecurringPayment rp, copy;

rp = new RecurringPayment
{
    ...
}
payments.Add(rp);  // add first object

copy = rp;  // Copy the original element
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
{
    copy.NextPaymentDate = copy.NextPaymentDate.AddDays(copy.RecurringTime * 7);
    copy.OrderOrdinal = copy.OrderOrdinal + 1;

    payments.Add(copy); // add 5 more with X weeks ahead
}

Thank you

You can implement ICloneable and then call clone to get a shallow copy of your object!

You can implement like this if you want(there are probably better ways out there):

public object Clone()
{
    return MemberwiseClone();
}
