Mapping umbraco node to strongtyped object - automapper

Question

I am working with Umbraco 4.7.1 and I am trying to map the content-nodes to some autogenerated strong typed objects. I have tried using both valueinjecter and automapper, but OOTB neither of them map my properties. I guess it is because all properties on an Umbraco node (the cms document) are retrieved like this:
node.GetProperty("propertyName").Value;
And my strongly typed objects are in the format of MyObject.PropertyName. So how do I map the property on the node which is retrieved using a method and a string beginning with a lowercase character into a property on MyObject where the property begins with an uppercase character ?
UPDATE
I managed to create the following code which maps the umbraco node as intended, by digging around in the Umbraco sourcecode for some inspiration on how to cast string-properties to strongly typed properties:
public class UmbracoInjection : SmartConventionInjection
{
protected override bool Match(SmartConventionInfo c)
{
return c.SourceProp.Name == c.TargetProp.Name;
}
protected override void Inject(object source, object target)
{
if (source != null && target != null)
{
Node node = source as Node;
var props = target.GetProps();
var properties = node.Properties;
for (int i = 0; i < props.Count; i++)
{
var targetProperty = props[i];
var sourceProperty = properties[targetProperty.Name];
if (sourceProperty != null && !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(sourceProperty.Value))
{
var value = sourceProperty.Value;
var type = targetProperty.PropertyType;
if (targetProperty.PropertyType.IsValueType && targetProperty.PropertyType.GetGenericArguments().Length > 0 && typeof(Nullable<>).IsAssignableFrom(targetProperty.PropertyType.GetGenericTypeDefinition()))
{
type = type.GetGenericArguments()[0];
}
targetProperty.SetValue(target, Convert.ChangeType(value, type));
}
}
}
}
}
As you can see I use the SmartConventionInjection to speed things up.
It still takes approximately 20 seconds to map something like 16000 objects. Can this be done even faster ?

Answer 1

with ValueInjecter you would do something like this:
public class Um : ValueInjection
{
protected override void Inject(object source, object target)
{
var node = target as Node;
var props = source.GetProps();
for (int i = 0; i < props.Count; i++)
{
var prop = props[i];
target.GetProperty(prop.Name).Value;
}
}
}
