AutoMapper运用实例

AutoMapper是可以实现Deep copy的。默认是相同的属性名复制过去。
如果有不一样的属性名需要拷贝，可以通过定义自己的规则就行Mapping。

使用实例(转载)：

public class Employee
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public Address Address { get; set; }
    public string Position { get; set; }
    public bool Gender { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }            
    public int YearsInCompany { get; set; }
    public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
}

public class Address
{
    public string Country { get; set; }
    public string City { get; set; }
    public string Street { get; set; }
    public int Number { get; set; }            
}

public class EmployeeViewItem
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Address { get; set; }
    public string Position { get; set; }
    public string Gender { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }            
    public int YearsInCompany { get; set; }
    public string StartDate { get; set; }
}

普通做法：

EmployeeViewItem viewItem = new EmployeeViewItem();
viewItem.Name = employee.Name;
viewItem.Email = employee.Email;
viewItem.Address = employee.Address.City + employee.Address.Street + employee.Address.Number;
viewItem.Position = employee.Position;
viewItem.Gender = employee.Gender == true ? "Man" : "Female";
viewItem.Age = employee.Age;
viewItem.YearsInCompany = employee.YearsInCompany;
viewItem.StartDate = employee.StartDate.ToShortDateString();

用AutoMapper之后:

Mapper.CreateMap<Employee, EmployeeViewItem>();
EmployeeViewItem employeeViewItem = Mapper.Map<Employee, Employee>(employee);

以上只需两句话非常简洁，但是需要配置Mapping的方法

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Mapper.CreateMap<Employee, EmployeeViewItem>()
           .ForMember(ev => ev.Address, 
                       m => m.MapFrom(a => a.Address.City + ", " + 
                                           a.Address.Street + " " + 
                                           a.Address.Number)
                      )
           .ForMember(ev => ev.Gender, 
                       m => m.ResolveUsing<GenderResolver>().FromMember(e => e.Gender))
           .ForMember(ev => ev.StartDate, m => m.AddFormatter<DateFormatter>());

        Employee employee = new Employee
        {
            Name = "John SMith",
            Email = "john@codearsenal.net",
            Address = new Address
            {
                Country = "USA",
                City = "New York",
                Street = "Wall Street",
                Number = 7
            },
            Position = "Manager",
            Gender = true,
            Age = 35,                
            YearsInCompany = 5,
            StartDate = new DateTime(2007, 11, 2)
        };

        EmployeeViewItem employeeVIewItem = Mapper.Map<Employee, EmployeeViewItem>(employee);            
    }        

    public class GenderResolver : ValueResolver<bool, string>
    {
        protected override string ResolveCore(bool source)
        {
            return source ? "Man" : "Female";
        }
    }

    public class DateFormatter : IValueFormatter
    {
        public string FormatValue(ResolutionContext context)
        {
            return ((DateTime)context.SourceValue).ToShortDateString();
        }
    }
}

EmployViewItem的结果如下：
