child/parent class, how do i 'mass define' child properties?
So I have a class
public class Parent: child {
public IEnumerable<AdditionalProp> MoreStuff { get; set; }
}
public child {
public int age { get; set; }
public string name{ get; set; }
public int score{ get; set; }
.... (many more)
}
something like that...
so if I have a value of
Child a = data.getChild();
IEnumerable<AdditionalProp> b = data.getMoreStuff();
how do I make it so that I can put both into the Parent class without retrieving and setting the child variables (age, name etc.) separately?
(without Automapper)

When you ask a question, make sure you include as much detail as possible. Such as code, the issue you are facing, what you expect the result to be, what .NET version you are using and what platform/environment (if any) are relevant to your question. Upload code here https://paste.mod.gg/ (see $code for more information on how to paste your code)
what do you mean by mass define?
so instead of doing
var x = data.getChild();
var y = new Parent() {age = x.age, name = x.name, score = x.score,......, MoreStuff = y}
so i am looking for something cleaner like
var y = new Parent() {child = x, MoreStuff = y}
is there any way to do it so i don thave to define every single variable separately? since it is the child of the parent component it is obvious that i am going to name them all
