🏗️ Inheritance Mapping Explained
// Domain Models
public class Employee
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
// ... other properties
}
public class Manager : Employee
{
public int TeamSize { get; set; }
public string OfficeLocation { get; set; }
}
// DTOs with same inheritance
public class EmployeeDTO { ... }
public class ManagerDTO : EmployeeDTO { ... }
// Mapping configuration
CreateMap<Employee, EmployeeDTO>();
CreateMap<Manager, ManagerDTO>()
.IncludeBase<Employee, EmployeeDTO>(); // Include base class mappingsResult: Manager is mapped to ManagerDTO with all base Employee properties included automatically!
