Does anyone know of a good (read: quick to code) method for converting DTOs to View Models or mapping DTO members to View Model members? Lately I’ve been finding myself writing many conversion and helper methods but this is a very arduous and tedious task. Moreover, it will often needs to be done twice (DTO -> View Model, View Model -> DTO).
Is there a methodology, technique, or technology which would allow me to do this more quickly and efficiently?
Have a look at Automapper. It is an open source project that addresses exactly the problem you are having.
