SqlGeography support for ObjectReader?

[tippmar]

I'm trying to use ObjectReader to facilitate SQL bulk copy but it doesn't seem to support SqlGeography data types. Not unexpected, I guess, but I'm wondering if it's possible to add support for SqlGeography?

what happens currently?

Well, after some more investigation, it seems my problem may not be related to ObjectReader specifically. It's a convoluted sequence involving interfaces, auto-generated proxy classes (via AutoMapper) and ObjectReader and BulkCopy all in combination. When I create a simple test, passing a list of concrete class instances, ObjectReader and BulkCopy work just fine. I'll keep digging and reopen if it seems necessary.

A tad more Googling and I turned up this issue #35 and the related SO question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41241131/fastmember-objectreader-doesnt-work-with-inherited-interfaces - that's the error I was getting. The SO question points to a code change that fixed the problem; I don't know if that change is suitable for integration into FastMember or not.
