Set propperties from an object to another 'similar' object in C#

I have two objects like:

class HOUSE_MODEL
{
   int RoomSize,
   int NumberOfBaths
   int GarageSize  
}

class DB_HOUSE_ENTITY
{
   int RoomSize,
   int NumberOfBaths
   int NumberOfDoors
}

I want Create a HOUSE_MODEL object and copy all values of the DB_HOUSE_ENTITY object if the property have the same name in both objects (in this case i would like copy roomSize and NumberOfBaths properties).

There is anyway to do this without copy one to one properties from one object to the other?

thanks in advance.

The traditional way of doing this is to create copy constructors:

public class HouseModel
{
   int RoomSize,
   int NumberOfBaths
   int GarageSize  

   public HouseModel( DbHouseModel model )
   {
       RoomSize = model.RoomSize;
       NumberOfBaths = model.NumberOfBaths; 
   }
}

This has some advantages over mappers, particularly it causes a compile time error if someone changes the name of a member of one of the classes but forgets to do it to the other.
