PropertyMapper.Add<Customer>(c => c.DateOfBirth, "[DOB]", true);
An exception will be thrown if the mapping is already exists and you passed a
falsevalue in theforceargument.
To get the mapping, use the Get() method.
var mappedName = PropertyMapper.Get<Customer>(c => c.FirstName);
Please consider to always use the PropertyMappedNameCache class when extracting the mapped property name.
To remove the mapping, use the Remove() method.
PropertyMapper.Remove<Customer>(c => c.FirstName);
