here is a simple example to clear my intentions.
class A {
public int Id
public string Name
public string Hash
public C c
}
class B {
public int id
public string name
public C c
}
class C {
public string name
}
var a = new A() { Id = 123, Name = "something", Hash = "somehash" };
var b = new B();
I want to set b
's properties from a
. I have tried something but no luck.
public void GenericClassMatcher(object firstModel, object secondModel)
{
if (firstModel != null || secondModel != null)
{
var firstModelType = firstModel.GetType();
var secondModelType = secondModel.GetType();
// to view model
foreach (PropertyInfo prop in firstModelType.GetProperties())
{
var firstModelPropName = prop.Name.ElementAt(0).ToString().ToLower(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) + prop.Name.Substring(1); // lowercase first letter
if (prop.PropertyType.FullName.EndsWith("Model"))
{
GenericClassMatcher(prop, secondModelType.GetProperty(firstModelPropName));
}
else
{
var firstModelPropValue = prop.GetValue(firstModel, null);
var secondModelProp = secondModelType.GetProperty(firstModelPropName);
if (prop.PropertyType.Name == "Guid")
{
firstModelPropValue = firstModelPropValue.ToString();
}
secondModelProp.SetValue(secondModel, firstModelPropValue, null);
}
}
}
}
What shall I do?

It sounds like you are trying to map one class to another. AutoMapper is the best tool I've come across to do this.
public class A
{
public int Id;
public string Name;
public string Hash;
public C c;
}
public class B
{
public int id;
public string name;
public C c;
}
public class C
{
public string name;
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var a = new A() { Id = 123, Name = "something", Hash = "somehash" };
var b = new B();
AutoMapper.Mapper.CreateMap<A, B>();
b = AutoMapper.Mapper.Map<A, B>(a);
Console.WriteLine(b.id);
Console.WriteLine(b.name);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
