ValueInjecter: how to ignore some properties while performing .InjectFrom<UnflatLoopValueInjection>(data)?

I'm using ValueInjecter instead of AutoMapper. I'm trying to perform unflattening operation using 

.InjectFrom<UnflatLoopValueInjection>(model)

It works, but I would also like to specity some properties to ignore during the unflattening operation, for example writing something like:

.InjectFrom<UnflatLoopValueInjection>(new IgnoreProperties("Prop1", "Prop2"), model)

or

.InjectFrom<UnflatLoopValueInjection>(model).IgnoreProperties("Prop1", "Prop2")

Any ideas?

With the latest version of Omu.ValueInjecter (v3.1.1 as of this writing), this feature is built-in:

instanceA.InjectFrom(new LoopInjection(new[] { "Prop1", "Prop2" }), instanceB);

Prop1 and Prop2 will be ignored.

This feature may have existed in previous versions, but isn't in v2.3 for example.

you can grab the source code for the UnflatLoopValueInjection and create your own injection which has this feature and whatever else you need.

here's the code for it: http://valueinjecter.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#ValueInjecter/UnflatLoopValueInjection.cs

you could add a Property Ignored properties or put it in the constructor, and where you have the line

 var prop = sourceProp;

 //add
 if(ignoredProps.Contains(prop) continue;

this should give you a quick idea of what you can do
