C# Programming

This is sort of a repost, but I realized after the original post that I was really asking a c# question, not a .NET framework question.
I have the need to change 'this' from one object to another.
Back ground is that I am deserializing some objects that I may already have in memory. If I identify an object as already existing, I want to deserialize directly onto that object, as opposed to deserializing onto a new object and then transfering the values.
1) I can not just use the new object because other objects that were not serialized may have links to the original object, and I don't know them all to change them.
2) The code is already unsafe, so I can't hurt it any more.
