SharpMapper

Easy-to-use .net object mapper

How to use

SharpMapper will copy all properties from one object to another using the following rules:

• property is present on target object
• property name comparison is case insensitive
• reference objects are created and have to have a parameterless constructor
• the mapping is recursive following the object tree
• lists and dictionaries are copied and every object inside them is also created and copied
• objects are created only once, so if the same object appears in 2 properties of source, a single copy of it will be in the same 2 properties of target too
• value properties are copied
• nullable types can be copied to value types
• null values from source are set null on target object
• source and target classes can be different (it will only copy the matching properties)
• enums will also be mapped from and to strings and ints
• there is no need to pre-create a mapping

Copy all properties from one object to another

  var from = new Foo { Name = "foo", Age = 1 };
  var to = Mapper.Map<Foo>(from);

Clone existing object

  var from = new Foo { Name = "foo", Age = 1 };
  var to = Mapper.Copy(from, to);

Classes don't need to be the same

  var from = new Foo { Name = "foo", Age = 1 };
  Bar to = Mapper.Map<Bar>(from);
