ClassMapper


A mapper class for associating a class with its corresponding database object (table or view). This is the programmatic alternative to the Map attribute.

Methods

Below is the list of methods.

NameDescription
AddAdds a mapping between the class and the name of the database object.
ClearClears all the existing database object name mappings.
GetGets the existing mapped database object name of the class.
RemoveRemoves the exising database object name of the class.

Usability

To add a mapping, call the Add() method:

ClassMapper.Add<Customer>("[sales].[Customer]", true);

An exception is thrown if a mapping already exists and false is passed for the force argument.

To retrieve the mapping, use the Get() method:

var mappedName = ClassMapper.Get<Customer>();

Always use ClassMappedNameCache when retrieving the mapped class name.

To remove the mapping, use the Remove() method:

ClassMapper.Remove<Customer>();
