Control Collection/Array

I'm trying to take a snapshot of all the controls currently on a form and store the type/properties of each of those controls *AS IT IS RIGHT NOW* into a collection or array. THe problem im having is, when a control property changes, it changes in the collection. Is there a way to store a "copy" of the control into a collection or array with its current properties able to change when the control does?

If I have confused you, I'm sorry.

What properties do you want to store?
