(First check and make sure there is a reason for two Addresses like Dean said..and if that doesn't work), you can just use serialization (e.g. XmlSerialization) to copy from one and put it in the other but that's probably going to perform worse than just mapping it.

The Address class is the same across both objects , but just in different namespaces. I was hoping for a simple one liner, but it's looking like I'll have to write a mapper. Take Care!

You'll likely need to create code to convert one to the other (and probably back). You won't be able to cast them since they are two different types...especially if they are un-related. For example, one Address might call Zipcode "ZIP" and another call it "PostalCode". You'll need to have code that can convert between the two and represent defaults for non-overlapping data (e.g. one has Country and the other one assumes the U.S.).

Background: I have pulled down 2 web references into a 2.0 c# project. The author of the endpoints has created three classes, let's call them Agency, Advertiser, and Address and exposed Agency in one web reference and Advertiser in the other. Both an Agency, and Advertiser have an Address, and this is where the crux of my dilemma. How do I convert/cast an Agency.Address to an Advertiser.Address, or what terms should I be trying to research so that I may try to figure this out on my own?
