Mapping sqlite tables and c# classes for query, insert and update

Question

Is there any way to map a class to a sqlite table?

For instance, if I have a Person class like:

public class Person
{
    public string Name {get; set;}
    public string Surname {get; set;}
    public string BirthDate {get; set;}
}

Is there any way to automatically insert any object into a table that shares the same name as the class and the same columns as its attributes? I thought it would be possible going by this question here , but I can't find the exact package that was being used in that case nor if it really does what I would want.

You could use an object-relational mapper (ORM) such as Entity Framework . Please refer to the "Get Started" links on the following MSDN page for more information: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/providers/sqlite/

Answer 2

As already said, you need an ORM. I suggest Dapper, very fast and distributed by those running the site we're on. Also, take a look at Automapper which may help you in the process of transforming your data objects in domain objects and back.
