Mapping to Nested Objects

These helpers allow you to map a query to an object that has nested objects. Given the following classes:

    public class User
    {
        public int UserId { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public Address Address { get; set; }
    }

    public class Address
    {
        public string Street { get; set; }
        public string City { get; set; }
    }

and the following query:

IDatabase db = new Database("connStringName");

// How can this work ???
var users = db.Fetch<User, Address>("select u.UserId, u.Name, u.Street, u.City from Users");

This will give you a list of User objects with the nested class Address mapped.

Note:

1. The order of the columns is extremely important. The columns in the query need to be specified in the same order as the generic parameters are specified. eg. The User columns are specified first, then the Address columns next.
2. If you are mapping to objects that are also used for inserting data then you will need to make sure you ignore the Address property using the [ResultColumn] attribute. From v3, you will additionally need the [ComplexMapping] attribute.
