Same Variable Names - 2 Different Classes - How To Copy Values From One To Another - Reflection - C#

Without using AutoMapper... (because someone in charge of this project will shit bricks when they see dependencies)

I have a class (class A) with however many properties. I have another class (class B) with those same properties (same names and type). Class B could also have other un related variables.

Is there some simple reflection code that can copy values from class A to cl开发者_如何学JAVAass B?

The simpler the better.

Type typeB = b.GetType();
foreach (PropertyInfo property in a.GetType().GetProperties())
{
    if (!property.CanRead || (property.GetIndexParameters().Length > 0))
        continue;

    PropertyInfo other = typeB.GetProperty(property.Name);
    if ((other != null) && (other.CanWrite))
        other.SetValue(b, property.GetValue(a, null), null);
}

This?

static void Copy(object a, object b)
{
    foreach (PropertyInfo propA in a.GetType().GetProperties())
    {
        PropertyInfo propB = b.GetType().GetProperty(propA.Name);
        propB.SetValue(b, propA.GetValue(a, null), null);
    }
}

If you will use it for more than one object then it may be useful to get mapper:

public static Action<TIn, TOut> GetMapper<TIn, TOut>()
{
    var aProperties = typeof(TIn).GetProperties();
    var bType = typeof (TOut);

    var result = from aProperty in aProperties
                 let bProperty = bType.GetProperty(aProperty.Name)
                 where bProperty != null &&
                       aProperty.CanRead &&
                       bProperty.CanWrite
                 select new { 
                              aGetter = aProperty.GetGetMethod(),
                              bSetter = bProperty.GetSetMethod()
                            };

    return (a, b) =>
               {
                   foreach (var properties in result)
                   {
                       var propertyValue = properties.aGetter.Invoke(a, null);
                       properties.bSetter.Invoke(b, new[] { propertyValue });
                   }
               };
}

I know you asked for reflection code and It's an old post but I have a different suggestion and wanted to share it. It could be more faster than reflection.

You can serialize the input object to json string, then deserialize to output object. All the properties with same name will assign to new object's properties automatically.

var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(a);
var b = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(json);

Try this:-

PropertyInfo[] aProps = typeof(A).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Default | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static);

PropertyInfo[] bProps = typeof(B).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Default | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static);

    foreach (PropertyInfo pi in aProps)
                {
                    PropertyInfo infoObj = bProps.Where(info => info.Name == pi.Name).First();
                    if (infoObj != null)
                    {
                        infoObj.SetValue(second, pi.GetValue(first, null), null);
                    }
                }
