Mapping items from one class to another if Items are equivalent

Question

Say I have one class that looks like this:

public class Person
{
     public string Name {get; set;}
     public int Number {get; set;}
}
         


        

Answer 1

If you don't work with big generic list, you can do it using LinQ.

var persons = new List();
// populate data [...]
var dogs = persons.Select(p=>new Dog{Name=p.Name,Number=p.Number}).ToList();

It's easy to remember, and you can filter data previously.
