Mapping DTOs to Entities using AutoMapper and EntityFramework

here we have an Entity class Country and an CountryDTO


    public class Country
    {
        public int CountryID { get; set; }
        public string ContryName { get; set; }
        public string CountryCode { get; set; }
     
    }

CountryDto
 public class CountryDTO
    {
        public int CountryID { get; set; }
        public string ContryName { get; set; }
        public string CountryCode { get; set; }
     
    }
Create Object of CountryDTO
CountryDTO collection=new CountryDTO();
collection.CountryID =1;
collection.ContryName ="India";
collection.CountryCode ="in";

Country model = Convertor.Convert<Country, CountryDTO>(collection);
  dbcontext.Countries.Add(model);
  dbcontext.SaveChanges();

this will work fine for a new Country, the above code will map CountryDTO to Country Entity Object and add new entities to the dbcontext and save the changes.


using System.Reflection;
 public static TOut Convert<TOut, TIn>(TIn fromRecord) where TOut : new()
        {
            var toRecord = new TOut();
            PropertyInfo[] fromFields = null;
            PropertyInfo[] toFields = null;

            fromFields = typeof(TIn).GetProperties();
            toFields = typeof(TOut).GetProperties();

            foreach (var fromField in fromFields)
            {
                foreach (var toField in toFields)
                {
                    if (fromField.Name == toField.Name)
                    {
                        toField.SetValue(toRecord, fromField.GetValue(fromRecord, null), null);
                        break;
                    }
                }

            }
            return toRecord;
        }

        public static List<TOut> Convert<TOut, TIn>(List<TIn> fromRecordList) where TOut : new()
        {
            return fromRecordList.Count == 0 ? null : fromRecordList.Select(Convert<TOut, TIn>).ToList();
        }
