Creating DTOs using AutoMapper

Sunday, March 1, 2009

There is one small and nice object to object mapper called AutoMapper. I gave it a little try and I found it very useful. Specially if you have web service and you are using DTOs to move data between client and server. Good news is that AutoMapper is able to perform these mappings and you don't have to write more code than couple of lines. Let’s see example.

That looks pretty sweet. While the GetTotal was automagically mapped, I'm more impressed with the CustomerDisplayName as it had to traverse across the objects. Anyway, informative post...thanks.

Its a really a nice example for help regarding DTO,
However i would recommend that the author should upload a complete small project in which data is accessed on web pages from database using DTO..

It would be useful on auto mapper configuration as well.
