Hello,

from some code I found in Sacha Barbers free mvvm framework chinch I saw this:

return new DispatcherNotifiedObservableCollection<OrderModel>(
                    DataAccess.DataService.FetchAllOrders(
                        CurrentCustomer.CustomerId.DataValue).ConvertAll(
                            new Converter<Order, OrderModel>(
                                  OrderModel.OrderToOrderModel)));

FetchAllOrders returns a List<Order> for a certain customerID. This list is converted to a List<OrderModel> or in other words List<OrderViewModel>.

How can that happen? What must be the requirements/conditions, that every property of the Order object in the List<Order> is converted into a property of the OrderModel ?
