I have two classes:
public class TestClass1
{
public int TestInt { get; set; }
public void TestMethod()
{
// Do something
}
}
public class TestClass2
{
public int TestInt { get; set; }
public void TestMethod()
{
// Do something
}
}
I want to create interface that I can use for both classes. The easiest solution is to implement the interface on TestClass1 and TestClass2 but I don;t have access to the implementation of these classes (external dll). I was wondering if I can create new interface and use AutoMapper to map TestClass1 and TestClass2 to ITestInterface:
public interface ITestInterface
{
int TestInt { get; set; }
void TestMethod();
}
You say you require mapping "TestClass1 and TestClass2 to ITestInterface", however you'd need an instance of a class to map to as you can't create an instance of an interface.
I assume you're trying to treat the classes interchangeably by converting them to the same interface. If so Automapper isn't what you should be looking at - see this question on stack-overflow for some details on how to manage treating the classes as if they both implement the same interface (even if you don't have access to the source code).
