Methods

Below is the list of methods.

NameDescription
AddAdds a database column name mapping into a property.
ClearClears all the existing database columns mappings.
GetGets the existing mapped database column name of the property.
RemoveRemoves the exising mapped database column name of the property.

Usability

To add a mapping, simply call the Add() method.

PropertyMapper.Add<Customer>(c => c.FirstName, "[FName]", true);
PropertyMapper.Add<Customer>(c => c.LastName, "[LName]", true);
PropertyMapper.Add<Customer>(c => c.DateOfBirth, "[DOB]", true);

An exception will be thrown if the mapping is already exists and you passed a false value in the force argument.

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);
