first, classes are reference types so the above needs to be:

A xxx = new A;
 // some things are done ...
A yyy = xxx;

second, that assignment will work as is but will act as a reference copy 
(you get two copies of the reference to the same object). If you want a real 
copy you can use structs or generate a deep copy function for the class. 
I don't use 2.0 so someone else will need to fill in the details.
