Copy properties from base class to derived class without manually mapping in C# with reflection

Question

How can I copy properties from my base class instance to the derived class?

public class Base
{
    public string BaseProperty { get; set; }
}
public class House : Base
{
    public string HouseProp { get; set; }
}

I don't want to do this:

Base base = new Base() { BaseProperty = "Hello World" };
House house = new House();
house.BaseProperty = base.BaseProperty;

Answer 1

Base _base = new Base() { BaseProperty = "Hello World" };
House _house = new House(_base);


  public class Base
    {
        public string BaseProperty { get; set; }
    }
    public class House : Base
    {
        public House(Base _base)
        {
            foreach (PropertyInfo property in _base.GetType().GetProperties())
            {
                PropertyInfo propinfo = _base.GetType().GetProperty(property.Name);
                propinfo.SetValue(this, property.GetValue(_base, null), null);
            }

        }
        public string HouseProp { get; set; }
    }
