Mapping business Objects and Entity Object with reflection c#

Question

I want to somehow map entity object to business object using reflection in c# -

public class Category
    {
        public int CategoryID { get; set; }

My vote is for auto mapper. I currently use this. I've done performance tests on it, and although it is not as fast as hand mapping (below):

Category c = new Category 
  {
    id = entity.id,
    name = entity.name
  };

The trade off for mapping automatically makes it an obvious choice, at least for the entity to business layer mapping. I actually hand map from the business layer to the view model because I need the flexibility.
