Object-Entity Mapping to DbfRecords #22

Open jardimihaly opened 3 years ago

jardimihaly commented 3 years ago

Added an attribute to be able to map properties in an entity to fields in a DBF.

Referencing fields by their index or name is prone to errors and can be annoying to debug. I sent this PR as an attempt to fix this issue. Instead of referencing the field, everything will be done under the hood, as the entity will only have to be created once, so there's less room for error.

This implementation is a fairly basic one, it could be extended to automatically create tables.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Example usage can be found in the EntityMapperTests.cs file.
