I've written a class with a single static method that copies property values from one object to another. It doesn't care what type each object is, only that they have identical properties. It does what I need, so I'm not engineering it further, but what improvements would you make?
Here's the code:
public class ShallowCopy
{
public static void Copy<From, To>(From from, To to)
where To : class
where From : class
{
Type toType = to.GetType();
foreach (var propertyInfo in from.GetType().GetProperties(BindingFlags.GetProperty | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance))
{
toType.GetProperty(propertyInfo.Name).SetValue(to, propertyInfo.GetValue(from, null), null);
}
}
}
I'm using it as follows:
EmployeeDTO dto = GetEmployeeDTO();
Employee employee = new Employee();
ShallowCopy.Copy(dto, employee);
