Release ModelMapper StandAlone package

[apobekiaris]

eXpandFramework modules use the ModelAdaptor functionality to map/synchronize controls to the model.

The implementation is complex and based on controllers that are spawn across many modules, so it is very hard for users to utilize them in their own modules.

The new package should provide a very simple API for mapping/synchronizing any object to the model. Furthermore the new package should be platform agnostic and should generate only one assembly minimizing deployment cost.

As with other standalone modules once released should replace all related classes from eXpandFramework main modules with minimum breaking change.

At the moment there is a ModelAdaptor context which is shared through all control maps. These does not make much sense and it should be moved as a child to each map.

Please update the related Nuget packages and test if issues is addressed. These are nightly nuget packages available only from our NugetServer.

If you do not use the Xpand.XAF.Modules directly but through an module of the main eXpandFramework module, you may wait for the bot to notify you again.

Thanks a lot for your contribution.

the ModelMapper is now integrated and documented at lab https://github.com/eXpandFramework/DevExpress.XAF/tree/lab/src/Modules/ModelMapper https://github.com/eXpandFramework/eXpand.lab/releases/tag/19.1.402.4

Currently the ModelMapper does not support the Visual Studio Model Editor. However you can use the XpandModelEditor found in the Xpand.VSIX package. Note that the XpandModelEditor is embedded and version agnostic so its one time only installation.
