How to map Two Objects with properties

Question

I have two objects request and response and they have few properties like below

public class Employee
{
public string Name{get;set;}
public Address EmployeeAddress{get;set;}

}

Address itself is a class with below properties

public class Address
{
public string Street{get;set;}
public string HouseNo{get;set;}
public List<phone> PhoneDetail{get;set;}
}

Now Phone is itself a class with below schema

public class phone
{
public string mobile {get;set;}
public string Home{get;set;}

}

This above is request object we have a response object having exactly same schema with all classes and properties are same Now I want to map them Like

Request.Name=Response.Name How to do that for all properties specially for Phone which is of type list .

Show your actual response, otherwise if your class structure is correct then json response will be auto mapped without any issue. It doesn't matter whether it is a list or simple object type. var res= JsonConvert.DesirializeObject (json response);

My request and response classes are exactly the same ,I only want to do the mapping manually , I never want to use any automapper. I get struck on two things like when I mapp Address property which itself is a call do I need to create its instance first otherwise it will be null, the second point is how to map the PhoneList properties as it is a list ob phone numbers?
