Object 'this' properties

[xzaz]

I got the following dynamic object:

PERSON_NAME
DEPARTMENT_NAME

With the classes:

class Person
{
public string Name {get;set;}
public Department Department {get;set;
}

class Department
{
public string Name {get;set;}
}

When using the Automapper the Department object is created and the name is filled. Due the PERSON_ prefix for this object the Person.Name is not filled. Is there any way to achieve this without editing the raw dynamic data?

HI @xzaz

Are you using the last version of Slapper? 1.0.7. If true: can you create test for this error?

Thanks...

Hi @xzaz

In your ExpandoObject Person, person.PERSON_NAME is incorrect. In your class Person, the property is called Name, not Person_Name

This test pass!

[Test]
public void Can_Populate_Self_Object_Properties()
{
    dynamic person = new ExpandoObject();
    person.NAME = "Clark"; // Changed PERSON_NAME by NAME
    person.DEPARTMENT_NAME = "IT";

    var list = new List<dynamic> { person };

    var pPerson = Slapper.AutoMapper.MapDynamic<Person>(list).FirstOrDefault();

    Assert.NotNull(pPerson);
    Assert.NotNull(pPerson.Name);
    Assert.NotNull(pPerson.Department.Name);
}

if you can't edit or change the raw dynamic data, then the property Name in class Person, must be called Person_Name.

public class Person
{
       public string Person_Name { get; set; }
       public Department Department { get; set; }
}

So yes, that is the 'problem' I want to map the PERSON_ to the this object. Or is this against the rules?

This does it for me, everything checks out. Meh.

Sorry @xzaz

This is against the rules... you can change class Person if can't edit the raw dynamic data.
