Werner, I had had a look at the MappingTool, but as I already used the SourceGenerator, my idea was, that adapting it would be the right way for me to go. A new look into the MappingTool mechanisms showed me, that it will be a lot easier to work with this tool and change it if I need to. Thanks for the hint.
