ModelDataExtensionsCreateMappingTSource, TTarget Method (TSource, ReadOnlyDictionaryString, ActionTSource, TTarget, FuncTSource, TTarget)

Creates a mapping object. This is an object that can create an object of given type and copy all public properties from an existing object over the new one. This mapping object can be extended with custom mapping rules.

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
static member CreateMapping : 
        source : 'TSource * 
        mappingRules : ReadOnlyDictionary<string, Action<'TSource, 'TTarget>> * 
        targetObjectFactory : Func<'TSource, 'TTarget> -> ModelMapping<'TSource, 'TTarget>

Parameters

source: Type: TSource
The source object - object which properties will be copied over the target.
mappingRules: Type: System.Collections.ObjectModelReadOnlyDictionaryString, ActionTSource, TTarget
The mapping rules.
targetObjectFactory: Type: SystemFuncTSource, TTarget
A delegate to a method that has to create a new object of the target type. if factory method is not provided the target type must declare a parameterless constructor.

Type Parameters

TSource: The type of the source.
TTarget: The type of the target.

Return Value

Type: ModelMappingTSource, TTarget
Newly created and initialized object of the target type.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type . When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).
