  You can use an object mapper tool like Automapper to map data between two objects.

  You can download MVC Futures from the URL you found (http://aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/41742), which contains a file Microsoft.Web.Mvc.dll.  Drop this file into your application (it won't overwrite System.Web.Mvc.dll), and use the ModelCopier class.  See http://weblogs.asp.net/shijuvarghese/archive/2010/04/27/asp-net-mvc-modelcopier.aspx for an example of how to use this type.

  The ModelCopier from MVC Futures is a meant for very simple scenarios, such as the one you have.  If you need something more complex, you may want to try the excellent AutoMapper library.

  Here is the simplist Shallow Copying Example,

  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Text;
  
  
  namespace ConsoleApplication1
  {
      class Program
      {
          static void Main(string[] args)
          {
              A a1 = new A { S1 = "1", S2 = "2", S3 = "3" };
              A a2 = (A)a1.Clone();
              a1.S1 = "4";a1.S2 = "5";a1.S3 = "6";
              Console.WriteLine(a1.S1);
              Console.WriteLine(a1.S2);
              Console.WriteLine(a1.S3);
              Console.WriteLine(a2.S1);
              Console.WriteLine(a2.S2);
              Console.WriteLine(a2.S3);
              Console.ReadLine();
          }
      }
      public class A
      {
          public string S1 { get; set; }
          public string S2 { get; set; }
          public string S3 { get; set; }
          public object Clone()
          {
              return this.MemberwiseClone();
          }
      }
  }
