Convert objects

[ygoe]

DeepConvert should be able to convert data between the following types:

• Dictionary<string, object> – class { … } (with same dictionary keys and properties/fields)
• class { … } – class { … } (with same property/field names)

Property/field names should be matched case-insensitively, unless that would be ambiguous. If a property/field is itself of a composite type, the conversion recurses into that property/field.

Only public properties/fields are regarded, but the type itself should not necessarily be public.

Reflection data about the involved types should be cached for better performance. This might be a with compiled expressions or Reflection.Emit.

Duck typing is now implemented.

These parts are still open:

• Fields are not regarded, only properties
• Possibly structs need special care (untested)
• Property names are always case-insensitive, ambiguities are ignored (untested)
• All classes and properties have to be public (might be impossible to change)
