This simple tool uses Roslyn API to find out about the code, and reads entity properties and generates corresponding DTO object, with mapper class attached.
Generate DTO objects from entities - Use existing EF code first entities (does not need to be EF, though) and generate DTO classes to use in servce layer.
Allow custom code in DTO - Surround any custom code with predefined comments to ensure that it is not deleted.
Regenerate DTO - Use simple UI to generate and regenerate DTO with preserving custom code.
Generate mapper - Generate helper class, a mapper, which can be used to map DTO to entity, or use it as selector expression in EF queries.
